 Women's Books Online - A Cooperative Book Review- Q1 1998
Barbara is, of course, famous for her activism, such as her trip to North Vietnam during the war, her participation in civil-rights marches through the south and her anti-nuclear protests, as well as for her speeches and her essay collections, including Prison Notes, We Cannot Live Without Our Lives, and Remembering Who We Are.
But Barbara wanted to be remembered as a poet, even though very few of her poems were ever published in her life, and most of her friends never even knew she wrote poetry.
When Barbara showed her first precious poems, such as the ones I've quoted, to her beloved college advisor, she was of course told not to write such things.
