"Though subtitled poems of love, laughter, longing & loss, L.L. Barkat's new collection, Love, Etc., is all longing to mereaching repeatedly for the clarity that surely lies within life's entanglements. These poems flirt and seduce. Wait patiently for mulberries and ghosts at the window. Make nests. Button and unbutton. Press the edge of the self. They imitate breath and the spaces between, the desires that get caught in the throat when only a picture, a word, a letter, or silence will do."
Tania Runyan, NEA Fellow and author of How to Read a Poem: Based on the Billy Collins Poem "Introduction to Poetry" and Second Sky
"Delicate, suggestive, clever."
Carl Sharpe, editor of VerseWrights
