Barbara A. Smith

I am

A dancer of dreams,

A painter of passions,

A singer of songs yet unsung.

As a child of the sixties, I was torn between my childhood wish of being a pioneer girl following her family's covered wagon across the west and my teenage wish of being a full blown hippie - hip-hugging gigantic bell bottoms embroidered with flowers and butterflies. My magic carpet time machine: books. I never have to worry about where my next adventure will take me. I'll either read it or write it.
