"In Barbara Parchim's keenly observed poems, trees, birds, humans, and octopi are neighbors, friends, and confidantes. But far from anthropomorphizing, this is a book of conversations with the living: robins feasting on a too-brief crop of berries, a tree with a dangerous limb hanging over a street, a doctor-turned-potter finding new ways to view the body.

Barbara Parchim is a poet, gardener, nature enthusiast, visual artist, and frequent wildlife rehabber. She owns and works an organic farm in Oregon that was originally homesteaded in the late 1800s. From an early age she was drawn to the natural world as a place of refuge and discovery and has drawn inspiration and solace from her interactions with wildlife and nature. As a visual artist, Barbara enjoys integrating her writing with her visual imagery. She has worked variously as a landscaper, nursery worker, apple picker, library assistant, travel agent and social worker and volunteered for several years at a wildlife rehab and education center caring for resident raptors and wolves. Her first book of poetry, What Remains, was published by Flowstone Press in October, 2021.
