Poems of Places and People

80 pp. 8vo. Barker was part of the New Apocalyptics movement, and his affair with Elizabeth Smart inspired her novel By Grand Central Station. "George Barker's new collection contains, among other things, elegies on people he has admired or loved and accounts of places -- and the people in them -- that have a personal significance for him. These poems are fresh testimony of their author's skill and sureness of touch; and will certainly be welcomed by his many admirers."
