PRAISE for Trying to
Be an Honest Woman
“Her voice is clear and colorful, her imagery full, and
her self-search fresh.… Barrington’s passion is
for the heart’s dialogue, the search for the kindred other.” —Calyx
“Graceful, urbane poetry, claiming respect with its distilled
clarity and hitting the deepest psychological nerves. Barrington
attends to her ideas with scrupulous precision.” —Valerie
Miner
“Subtle and evocative, Barrington’s poems are both
easily accessible and substantial.… The fusion of language
and love, even the erotic nature of language, is implicit in
the sensuousness of Barrington’s imagery.” —Hurricane
Alice
“These poems are witty, ironic, sad and finally, hopeful.
Barrington’s strength is that she does not leave us with
an awareness of failure, disconnection and missed opportunities.
Having penetrated those only too well, she uses them and goes
beyond them to arrive at a place—sometimes only for a moment—where
women can engage with each other honestly and fully….
Barrington’s work is tough and passionate, and should be
widely read.”
—The Women’s Review
