My Page Billboard

I am a poet and a writer. My non fiction book, The Dynamic Great Lakes, has information that is helpful to people who would like to make good decisions about the lakes. My other book, The Wilderness Within, is poetry and essays drawn from natures deep wells.
My new poetry book is Sophia's Lost and Found.

Sophia’s Lost and Found returns riches that can never be lost. In unexpected abundance, peoples and places, birds, fishes, animals, ores and elements return again and again. Each poem is a celebration of connections among living networks of life in this world and unseen worlds.

My new website: Sophia's Lost and Found,

I have a video on the above website wherein I am helped by a pod of whales.

My website, The Dynamic Great Lakes, www.geocities.com/barbaraspring has photos and facts about the world's greatest freshwater system.
