It is dark and dreary, and you are all alone. Alone with your subconscious. The rain keeps falling, and you can't help but feel a void in your soul, knowing that no one is there for you. No one understands what is going through your head. Everyone thinks you are crazy because you will not let anyone get too close to you, but it makes it easier to emotionally detach in an instant. You hear creaks in the old house as you just sit there staring through...

The Girl in the Box (But Occasionally I Escape!) is my second book of poetry. It's written with all the emotions that the human spirit can possibly feel! At times, it will make you laugh; other times, you'll cry! Then, perhaps just ponder life's situations and how they apply to all of us! It is captivating, a true page-turner. Aside from that, it was a journey into my soul, which I penned to paper. A true undertaking of who I am. I hope my readers...

From the deep South, a woman pens her poetry, as she approaches 100 years of age. It's homespun, old-fashioned, and it's humor-tinged rhymes contain pearls of wisdom. It is a witness that we can make a contribution at whatever age and whatever place. Her son was a well-known experimental film maker, Will Hindle, and a letter to his mother concludes this work. It is evident from the persons who knew Mayo and from her poetry that she was a loving person...

Sus primeros libros, aparecidos en la década de los ochenta, rescatan el contexto de la dictadura y la vuelta a la memoria de Latinoamérica colonizada.

En Playas de Fuego el mar no habla la lengua de los muertos. El mar representa la clausura de la palabra, el espacio donde queda encerrado el discurso, constituyéndose solo como el reflejo y rebote del cielo, pura ilusión. En la poesía de Bárbara, el mar es el espacio de la indistinción, un desierto de la palabra, la mudez absoluta. La muerte no es la física, sino la muerte de la voz. El aliento se expande en la superficie y desaparece...
