Barbara Barg is a pre-Socratic / post postmodern / pre-Apocalyptic poet and through those lenses explores writing, music, performance, teaching, the ground, the sky, and life in general. She was raised in Eastern Arkansas near the Mississippi Delta and—after many wanderings—moved to New York City where she became a several-times-recognized-in-a-coffee-shop poet/musician on that throbbing scene. She moved to Chicago in 2008. She hopes to out-live fascism and imperialism, but doesn’t let the demise of sane, political discourse destroy subjective attainments of personal happiness and peace where appropriate.
