The poems, drawn from five previous collections and published over 40 years, include Barr s eye-witness accounts as a Navy veteran of Vietnam, and as a New Yorker who was present at 9\/11. They explore the boundary of what is human with all that is not, and find things never to be as they seem. They follow the journey from nature into art, and the efforts of the artist to discover what it means to be human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems of John Barr have appeared in many magazines, and have been published in six collections: \u003ci\u003eThe War Zone\u003c\/i\u003e (1989), \u003ci\u003eNatural Wonders\u003c\/i\u003e (1991), \u003ci\u003eThe Dial Painters\u003c\/i\u003e (1994), \u003ci\u003eCentennial Suite\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), all by Warwick Press; and \u003ci\u003eThe Hundred Fathom Curve\u003c\/i\u003e (1997), and \u003ci\u003eGrace \u003c\/i\u003e(1999), by Story Line Press.
