Barney Warren is a native Brooklynite whose urge to write poetry grew out of an abiding love for the New York Yankees of the era in which he was raised. Barney has outgrown neither his urge to write nor his love for the Yankees of that bygone era. However, his subject matter now includes everything that reaches his very city-honed sense receptors. His mind is a fully actuated urban development master plan, and he doesn’t expect to be nominated for Cowboy Poet of the Year. Here are links to his two volumes of selected poems: Wick to Wick and Zero Mass.
David Clear: “I’m a New England writer; plainly a hobbyist rather than a professional. I had no formal writing education, but many great writing teachers, from office jobs to heartbroken relationships, and even convenience store clerks. I am retired, and I guess still seeking my great writing whale. My novel, Dreaming at the Speed of Sound, is available on Amazon at this link.” I have also had the following stories published by Story Sanctum Publishing: Cresting Wave, Thus Spake Alan, and The Overdue Library Book.
David’s collection of short stories called The Roles We Play: Reincarnation and the Shifting Stories of the Soul will be out this spring from Second Shore. It’s a fascinating set of speculative tales that deal with past lives.
