This beautiful collection illuminates the poet’s journey from girlhood to widowhood. 'Still, Papa, somehow you conveyed to me/quiet is where you go to get soul things out' she writes in 'Tough Guy,' a childhood memory poem. In 'Catbird,' the title poem of the book, humor interrupts grieving...'I loved her once/when I saw her lipstick hidden under the pillow./Like Marlene Dietrich in 'Dishonored,'/applying lipstick before the firing squad,/no pale mouth would greet eternity.'/Barbara Alfaro’s poems have appeared in various journals including The Blue Mountain Review, Variant Literature and Poet Lore.
