Product Description
Advance praise for No Name Harbor:

“Barbary Chaapel’s No Name Harbor offers the sparkle of the sunlit surf, the mystery of an archeological find, and the richness and good taste of double-fudge brownies. Her work provides both discovery and delight.”

Dr. Barbara Smith, co-editor, Wild Sweet Notes: Fifty Years of West Virginia Poetry 1950-1999

“Barbary Chaapel’s poems, beautiful in precision and deep with understanding, are weighted with the experience of the body in its earthly entrapment/paradise where sunsets, ice, trees, stranger and friends, pets and wild creatures are loved, feared or sometimes just endured. Yet in her poetry an inner vision rises like mysterious vapor over all of these sensory details, the heart yearns, the soul settles on a branch and sings. And we listen with held breath.”

Dr. Sandra Vrana, editor, Grab a Nickel

“Everyone who reads poetry will revel in Barbary Chaapel’s wide range of subjects that are genuine, earthy, domestic, approachable and beautifully weathered in love.”

Eleanor Bush, author of A Checklist of the Flora of Barbour County, West Virginia, 2004

“Barbary Chaapel writes from her heart, a heart of deep understanding, of human relationships and our relationship with the natural world around us. Her poetry is exquisite and beautiful, easy to read, and full of longing.”

Cheryl Denise, author of I Saw God Dancing

“Ms. Chaapel’s poetry is not only from the heart, it is clear, concise and powerful, always a pleasure to read.”

Charles Ramp, author of Sophia in the City
