description: Praise for "History and Geography": "Barrington's history, like Lowell's, is intensely personal; her geography, like Bishop's, extracts the familiar from the exotic and the exotic from the familiar."-"The Nation""She engages wittily with cultural differences . . . and gives a prominent place to what Elizabeth Bishop, of whom her writing sometimes reminds me, called 'questions of travel.'"-"The Women's Review of Books""Written in a voice at once steadfastly bold and gently intimate . . . Barrington demonstrates control of her material, transforming volatile feelings and almost unspeakable observations into cogent, vigorous poetry."-"Publishers Weekly"Judith Barrington's memoir, "Lifesaving," won the Lambda Award. She lives in Portland, Oregon.
