Water Colors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781954353541)

Barbara Brooks' poetry, with its lovely descriptions of the natural world of woods, streams, and birds, reveals not only her keen appreciation of the great beauties all around us, but an equally sharp-eyed understanding of the hard lessons of reality. These are poems you will turn to again and again.

-Carolyn Elkins, Poet and Author of Daedalus Rising

In Water Colors, Barb Brooks creates a biome of flora, fauna, grief, and hope. From expansive wind-swept jetties to the intimacy of snake skin draped over a lawnmower, Brooks gently presents the natural world as geographies to both offer up and calm our sorrows. Water Colors is a compact but profound testament to the subtlety of human emotion in a sprawling word; a chapbook that, just like a favorite tree or body of water, you will return to over and over for its comfort and honesty.

-Jerrod Schwarz, Co-Founder and Managing Poetry Editor of Driftwood Press
