Louisa May Alcott

J. T. Barbarese

Little Men

Goddesses and junkies, the Vietnam memorial and a neighborhood hangout are the coordinates of J. T. Barbarese'sSweet Spot. His poems explore the emotional centers of whatever is fleeting in characters or places that will be instantly familiar to the reader. Barbarese masterfully evokes the specific land- and cityscapes of his poems.Sweet Spot confirms Barbarese's preeminence as a chronicler of the heroic everyday, the telling detail, the subtle reminders of the human predicament hidden in habit and memory.

Sweet Spot

A Very Small World

J.T. Barbarese's poems are a dose of smelling salts in a sleepy, go- along world. The freshness of his language matches perfectly-- abets, I should say--the freshness and candor of his world view. Tart and sere, and also witty and generous, True Does Nothing is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I particularly admire his long-lined, long-limbed odes. They are, like all the poems here, exuberantly musical and bracingly less deceived. A brilliant, memorable collection
