Words With Wrinkled Knees

Book Review By KENT STATE UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR

"Words with Wrinkled Knees has got to be one of the most intriguing examples of language play that I know of! I never tire of the way [Barbara] works around her characteristically inventive images to arrive at the meanings of words--no, not the meanings, for that's too drab--it's the inner game of words she seems to be after. You know what else I love about that book? The poetry makes you work, and that's good. You're cordially invited in, but once there it takes a little time--and a great deal of thought--to play the game." --Tony Manna
