Barbara Bloom’s latest book is Pulling Down the Heavens. She grew up in California and on a remote coastal homestead in British Columbia, Canada. Her poems have appeared in various literary journals, and three of her poems from her first book, On the Water Meridian, were read by Garrison Keillor on The Writer’s Almanac. She now lives in Bellingham, Washington, with her musician husband, Fred Winterbottom.
Praise For…
"Barbara Bloom's poems are a clear window into the world of wonder, of a childhood lived in the wilds of British Columbia, of a commitment to family and friendship, and an abiding reverence for the natural world. She is also a poet who can look directly into wreckage and loss and salvage a sustaining vision through the healing music of poetry. Here are poems of a life lived with loving attention, poems that praise and celebrate our incandescent moment in this world." ~Joseph Stroud
