Praise:
Julie Brooks Barbour drives us through a disturbing landscape where the GPS just fails: if you hop in, know there’s serious lyric power under the hood, and that accepting a ride means transformation.
-Lesley Wheeler, author of The Receptionist and Other Tales and Heterotopia
Barbour has crafted these captivating poems into small perfect arrows that both pierce and carry us; elegant in their language, precise in their words, these poems move us from girlhood to womanhood, and we hope for the best—“a white bird and he turned out / to be white dandelion seeds, blown away by a wish.”
-Kelli Russell Agodon, author of Hourglass Museum (White Pine Press, 2014)
In this collection, Barbour distinguishes herself as a remarkable storyteller who can show us an uncanny world of desire and displacement, complete with all of its looming shadows.
-Mary Biddinger, author of A Sunny Place with Adequate Water and O Holy Insurgency

Come To Me and Drink (Finishing Line Press, 2012)

Praise:
Julie Brooks Barbour has left us humans, in need of her noticing, the greatest of portraits: the human soul seduced by what is puzzling, fleeting, always true.
- Nikky Finney, author of Head Off & Split, winner of the 2011 National Book Award for poetry
Barbour has given us back our own moments as new mothers, our bodily heritage as women, our honesty as only a poet can render it.
- Kathryn Stripling Byer, NC Poet Laureate Emerita, author of Coming to Rest and Wildwood Flower
With these deeply moving poems, Barbour makes us vividly experience complex changes in relationships, as well as in the internal and external world of the speaker, both in extraordinary situations and in "the challenge of every day."
- Katerina Stoykova-Klemer, author of The Most
