Love Bites by Barbara Garro
As Barbara Garro‘s mom would tell her when things were hard, “Little by little and bit by bit, you keep going in the direction you want to do.” That’s what she did and that’s what Barbara does. After 33 years, she found a publisher that believes in her poetry and published her first full-length poetry book, Love Bites, available in print and digital formats on Amazon. Her painting “Beethoven’s Joy” graces the cover.
