"Ginny Lowe Connors' poems range from intimate portraits of her family to scenes of historical events in Hartford, all the way to the wild beyond the civilized, to snakes and moose. She writes about the challenges of being a mother, the lives of her children and husband, and about her experiences as a teacher. These are heart-felt poems that portray a multi-faceted intelligence and the breadth of a committed and caring life. Connors' words carry us into beauty effortlessly, as she says of worms in earth, 'without wings, fins or feet.' How lucky we are to have these wonderful poems, how fortunate to have her testimony and witness to the power of the word and a life lived fully and richly here in America.” --Hugh Ogden

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great read!,
This review is from: Barbarians in the Kitchen: Poems (Paperback)
Ginny Connors takes us into her world of keenly observed details and shows us that both the everyday and the unusual are worth observing. She shows us worms on the sidewalk, students shuffling to class in bedroom slippers, her husband strolling out to the garage, then turns around and gives us a panther snarling and snagging a child's arm as a circus tent burns. Ginny lets us into her life and her imagination. She lets uis see an albino tiger loose in Queens, lets us hear Anna Washington sing! It is a gift to the reader to see the world through her eyes, to share her delight in the details.
