Barbara Garro wrote her first poem at 14 and Sister Angelita’s critique stopped her poetry until age 40 when the grief from her mother’s sudden death poured out into a poem. The poem was published in the “Maple Shade Progress,” and Garro has gone on to receive 18 poetry awards, publication in 27 poetry anthologies and her biography was included in the 2004 International Who’s Who in Poetry. In 2016, after 33 years of writing 999 poems and counting, Cambridge Books believed in Barbara Garro and the appeal of her poetry and “Love Bites” was published in November 2016.
“Love Bites” gives readers a sprint through the love life of one American woman over decades of memorable experiences.
Author, Mechie Garza, said of Barbara Garro’s poetry: “Barbara Garro sings her life in poetry.”
Author, Nancy Duci Denofio, said of “Love Bites:” “This collection is a language of its own, a voice which travels from heart to heart: “Love Bites,” a bit of flirtation, devotion, togetherness, frustration, marriage, partings, celebrations, memories and more. Barbara Garro focuses on human relationships that only love knows.”
