Sarah Barber’s Country House is a collection of pastoral poetry for the Anthropocene—she celebrates nature through attention to the scientific method and with appreciation for surrealist absurdities. Punchy and elegant, Barber’s poems reintroduce readers to the strange beauty of a world they only thought they knew.
Sarah Barber, author of The Kissing Party,has published poems in Ninth Letter, Pleiades, New Ohio Review, Columbia Poetry Review, Crazyhorse, and Poetry, among other publications. She teaches at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY.
