Barbara has published prose and poetry and is a regular local reader at Stand Up Poets’ evenings. The natural environment, politics, peace and women are the main interests and themes. Her work has been on several women's literary ezines in UK, USA and Canada, in an anthology of Far North Coast winning women writers, From The Circle of Women, Imago23, Beyond The Rainbow and regional newspapers. She has read her poems on community, local and web radio. Recently she won the Friends of The ABC Far North Coast Region Open Poetry Award with her poem "Oceans of Ethnic Harmony". On International Women's Day 2003, she was invited by Dangerously Poetic Publishers as a feature poet to read her work at Persephone's Bookshop, Byron Bay, NSW. Australia. Poems are diverse, embracing the beauty and sorrow of life and nature. In 2000, Barbara was invited to read poems to a small but appreciative audience in Colorado, USA. Inspiration comes from the sounds and sights of her own very special Rainbow Country. Barbara aspires to publishing a book of poetry and prose, and is particularly interested in making audio formats of her written works. |
