Small Chimes

Julie Brooks Barbour

4.9/5 (15299 ratings)

Description:Small Chimes, the title of Julie Brooks Barbour’s beautifully wistful poetry collection, reveals something of her subject matter and of her artistic approach as well. She is alert to the furtive moment, the subdued gesture, the understated, even the unstated, drama. Waiting for an unnamable disaster to take place, she watches snow fall, “making no explosions.” In “How to Love,” a little girl and a cat “look into the world together, / watching its movements carefully // as if something wonderful could happen.”—Fred ChappellJulie Brooks Barbour writes with a voice as intimate and focused as a mother singing to her child. These poems leave you breathless inside their pastoral landscapes and interiors, ringing resonant chimes. In unaffected, simple language, she traces the domestic whitewater of family life, both in the roles of mother and child. She speaks with an intensity of observation that shakes the heart more awake to its nuances and shadows. This is poetry to dive deeply into, as Julie Brooks Barbour brings a vibrant voice to the feminine nature of the earth and the human experience.—Rachel DacusEarly in this rich first full-length collection, Julie Brooks Barbour writes "I wanted to know their lives in full, / not in fragments." She explores those lives, and most particularly, the new life of her child, through lines that are crisp and sharp, that feel both highly polished and emotionally explosive. By the end Barbour's Small Chimes are no longer alarms; they have become songs.—Keith TaylorWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
