With precise, vivid language, Barry renders a reality that is always more than meets the eye, always shifting and deepening our perception of the known and unknown. Barry invites readers into a lyrical world of joy, wonder, loss, humor, and human connection. \u003ci\u003eThe Marvelous Real\u003c\/i\u003e is a journey in sound, rhythm, and imagery-from a mother as Walden Pond, to d�j� vu in Old San Juan, to a childhood game of old church lady bank robbers, a work from Picasso's Blue Period, and a brother's hands. These poems illustrate the power of language to embody and transcend human experience. Barry's debut is indeed a marvelous real. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFinalist, 2025 Birdy Poetry Prize by Meadowlark Press","brand":"Meadowlark Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47593031237783,"sku":"9781956578843","price":1682.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781956578843.webp?v=1774980347","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-marvelous-real-9781956578843","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
