Seasons - Haiku & More
 Barbara Garro wrote her first poem at 14 and a harsh Sister Angelita
critique stopped her poetry until age 40 when the grief from her mother's
sudden death poured out in a poem. The poem was published in the "Maple
Shade Progress," and Garro has gone on to receive 16 poetry awards,
publication in 21 poetry anthologies and her biography was included in the
2004 "International Who's Who in Poetry." In 2005, Electric
Envisions published Garro's Seasons - Haiku & More, which includes Garro's
pen and ink illustrations. Garro hosts a 3-hour monthly Saturday morning
critique group for advanced poets, teaches poetry for adults, and works
with poets to polish their poems and create poetry chapbooks, which Garro
illustrates.
