    Moncy Barbour

    About the Author I am a previous published poet. This volume was meant to be small. I write sometimes as I paint, in the abstract. However I try to connect with the reader in some way. I am also a commercial artist but all of the poets have inspired me from Emerson, Whitman to even Jim Morrison whom will be taken I believe more serious as a poet later. I like the early Greek poets too. Poetry to me is a door of perception to walk through and to be awakened. That is about all.
