John Barr’s poems stage contemporary landscapes alongside Dantean imagery, as in a beach-in-China Inferno that frames pollution as both vivid and troubling. The collection also includes musical and literary echoes, drawing on Bach, courtly life, and Villon’s voice to build layered, cross-era reflection.
