Kneeling Orion

Story-poems of rural Maine, of neighbors, of seasons, and of life lived slowly and fully. Kate Barnes wrote wise and moving verse as Robert Creeley said, of a deep and heartfelt clarity. She lived and wrote on a farm in Appleton, Maine and was the states first Poet Laureate. Her poems contain wisdom gently imparted as life lessons. Youll feel a sense of connection from her work a connection with the past, with the earth, with her friends, and with the human condition superbly defined.
