PRAISE for Long Love “Judith Barrington’s Long Love...celebrates her impressive tenure as a writer. [It] is anchored by Barrington’s stripped-back voice and generous poetic ear. .... There is a delicious simplicity to Barrington’s political edge. As a collection, Long Love has a quiet pulse on the culture, and is an impressive, expansive read.” —Lambda Literary "Sparkling with connectivity and synapse, these are the poems of someone who has lived in deep conversation with the world, both the listening and the talking back. “Long Love” ranges far and wide, moving through landscapes of love and loss, of body and identity, queerness, the natural kingdom. There is a searching, lyrical intelligence awake at all times. And there’s a deep love for the world, marked by language: “the word was honeysuckle; the life was sweet.” Again and again, Barrington takes us into the everyday splendor of the lives we make for ourselves, beginning with the rapture of a cup of coffee. With a keen eye and freedom of mind, her gaze bounds into the world like a bird — lithe, soaring, singing, darting between heaven and Earth." —The Oregonian "A relentless optimism shines through this book, even as the poet confronts loss, discrimination, and the indignities of aging. A highly gifted writer, Judith Barrington's new collection aptly represents her poetic strengths." —Sticks & Stones . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
