Poems by George Barker
Calamiterror (Section VI)
... I met seven saints in Salisbury with cotton wool in their ears ...
Circular from America
... Hemisphere I lean my eager ...
Summer Song
... The breaking day and the breaking heart ...
Grandfather, Grandfather
... who always want to know what pandas ...
January Jumps About
... far far away bringing to us all the gift ...
"Turn on your side and bear the day to me"
... Your mother Watched with as dove an eye the unforgivable night ...
To Any Member Of My Generation
... And from our wild-oat words, like dragon's teeth, ...
To My Mother
... She will not glance up at the bomber or condescend ...
True Confession
... I see my own Stopped, like a stair carpet, at this story ...
O Who Will Speak From a Womb or a Cloud?
... O remember How once the Lyrae dazzled and how the Novembers ...
O Child Beside The Waterfall
... rise from those waters like the call ...
