Breath Takes
"Breath Takes is CPR for the poetry lover." Susan Holbrook
Lyric/anti-lyric
The very best of Barbourrsquo;s criticism over the past two decades.
Tesseracts
"Enter a shadow of the fourth dimension where... a law enforcer's daily tasks include encounters with Maoclavers, Libglibs, Nude Druids and the dreaded 'terminal cancer'...

If presents technically innovative poetry that invites the reader to join in some serious play. Barbour’s vivid, ekphrastic poems engage an ongoing conversation among artworks—not only classic paintings but also popular music—while his lyric poems astutely, accessibly evoke places, moments, and feelings. This is poetry that takes up language both as the already-said and as a playground for brilliant technique. Leaping from love to landscapes, politics to jazz, Keats to Milne to Monk, these poems yearn to be spoken aloud for the pure joy of sound.
