Spanning over fifty years in the Pacific Northwest, Harvest is a manuscript celebrating a life lived fully.
With characteristic straightforwardness, this collection embraces the beauty of wildflowers in a jar and the scramble of a working mother’s mental list, sharing the joys and the thorns, both literal and figurative. Embracing both the personal and the universal—from her love of nature viewed from her home in Oregon’s Willamette Valley to the realities of love, life, and loss—this intensely powerful collection stands as a tribute to a wife and environmentalist, mother and activist, and, above all, a writer.
Barbara Baldwin was one of the four co-founders of CALYX Press in 1976. She studied poetry with Richard Dankleff, Carolyn Kizer, and Madeline DeFrees.
