Barbara jokingly refers to herself as a woman of a certain age. But I think she's an ageless angel whose writing is fluid and flawless and whose humor and compassion seems boundless.
Barbara is also one of the most versatile writers I've ever met. She can spin memoir, pop out poetry, tap out theatrical dialogue (otherwise known as plays) and craft beautiful essays.
I love her work. Let's see if I can link to her homepage now, where you can find more information on "Singing Magic" and "Mirror Talk":
