Synopsis

In John Barr's Poems, The Ancient Masters Encounter The Modern World. Dante On A Beach In China Beholds The Inferno: Flaring Well Gas Night And Day, / Towers Rise As If To Say, / Pollution Can Be Beautiful. Bach's Final Fugue Informs All Of Nature. Villon Is Admonished By An Aging Courtesan. Aristotle Finds Demagogues Are The Insects Of Politics. / Like Water Beetles They Stay Afloat / On Surface Tension, They Taxi On Iridescence. And His Afterlife: When Three-headed Cerberus Greeted Him / Socrates Replied: I Won't Need / An Attack Dog, Thank You. I Married One.
