I first "met" Barbara through "Galaxy of Verse," an online poetry site which she chairs and runs two multi=category contests per year. I met her in person when she accepted my invitation to attend the Lucidity Poetry Retreat, held annually in Eureka Springs, Arkansas during the National Poetry Month of April. I love her spirit, her work, and very much appreciate her contribution to the world of poetry through Galaxy of Verse.

It's amazing how Barbara says she only became interested in poetry in the last ten years, but has done so well in such a short time! Every time I turn around, she has won another award! All poets who are involved in NFSPFS should consider becoming members of other state poetry societies! I don't have a big budget, but most states only charge twenty a year! I can't really afford to travel that often, so my mind takes a journey through poetry!As the human race, we can't let the arts die and be replaced by ignorance! I encourage people:quit being couch potatoes! Read and write poetry! There will still be plenty of time left to be a couch potato!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14344575964611568823noreply@blogger.com
