Quotes by Barbara Crooker (?)

“I like my coffee black, my beer from Germany, wine from Burgundy, the darker, the better. I like my heroes complicated and brooding, James Dean in oiled leather, leaning on a motorcycle. You know the color. ("Ode to Chocolate")”

“Are we always to be wanting
what isn't:
the greenest grass
accord and principle
motherhood and career?
Yet our age lies to us
like an asp,
whispering. "Both.”
― Barbara Crooker

“On this blue day, I want to be nothing more than an amanuensis to the birds, transcribing all the bits and snatches of song riding in on the wind.”

Thanks for your kind note, Karla. My reading piles (note the plural) are starting to look like permanent pieces of furniture!

Barbara! Thanks for inviting me into your GR circle! Gold arrived yesterday and is on top of my reading pile. Next book up in my morning poetry meditations when I read a poem a day from four books, musing in a journal about them. Excited! Meanwhile, I'm woefully behind on my GR "homework!"
