CALEB BARBER |
Down from Bellingham, where he works at an aerospace machine shop, is Caleb Barber with his fine debut collection of poems, Beasts and Violins (Red Hen Press). "Caleb Barber is a large talent without any time for language that doesn't strike and haunt. With his raw, bleak voice, Barber resuscitates the American narrative poem—a species dying into the anecdotal—so that it stands up again and sings." – Katie Ford. "Caleb Barber's fortuitous debut onto the American poetry scene strikes me as every bit as consequential and clarifying as those of his recognizable mentors—Spicer, Hugo, Wright, and Carver. Having absorbed them, he's done what no one could have taught him: given honest and singular voice to the painful extremities of being both beast and violin, brutish and fragile, mired in the flesh, yet bent on not being entirely at its mercy." – Tess Gallagher.
