Poetry. Winner of the Kore Press 2002, selected by Jane Miller. "In subjects ranging from the expulsion of the Jews in the fifteenth century to intimacies between contemporary lovers, we are made to feel our own needs and terrors expressed, our own cities left behind. These poems are transparent, yet everywhere reflect things and people darkly, in emergency."—Jane Miller

<p>Winner of the Tenth Gate Prize. Says Daniel Tobin, "Barber's poems ask us 'to register each shifting of the air,' and they do so with a contemplative brilliance rare in contemporary American poetry." Martha Collins adds, "Like masterful drawings, Jennifer Barber's Works on Paper calls our attention to every carefully executed line. Spare, suggestive, their images speak both for and beyond the fragility of existence. Barber offers us 'collisions of light and dark' that are 'impossible to divide.' The poet knows that 'Nothing will be saved'; but for us and for future readers, these beautiful poems will linger.</p>
