POETRY!
This collection of American narrative poetry addresses themes of life and work in the western U.S. The poems read like broken country songs sung from a paved farm: dead deer and train trips, a dog at the edge of the fire. Beasts and Violins begins with a dark birth and finishes at peace on the water, with the necessary stops in between. Caleb Barber earned MFA in poetry and currently lives in Bellingham, where he works days at an aerospace machine shop. He has been widely published in literary magazines, most notably with a feature in Poet Lore. He also has a poem in the anthology, Best American Poetry 2009.
