Quiet but powerful, these “slow but sure” poems speak of a world of poverty and sacrifice, where people have no choice but to bear up under the strain of difficult circumstances. Barbee writes of hard times, a drunken father, an aging grandmother buoyed by religious faith, hungry children and grownups making due, with a soft tone that betrays the strength of his scenes. His poems are evocative, dealing with the rural life of the poor and the indomitable spirit of human endurance.
-CL Bledsoe, author of Riceland and Trashcans in Love
