Poet Susan Barba Publishes New Book

Susan Barba’s newest poetry collection, geode, is available now from publisher Black Sparrow Press/David Godine. Barba is the author of Fair Sun and winner of the Anahid Literary Prize from the Armenian Center at Columbia University and the Minas & Kohar Tölölyan Prize. She has received fellowships from the MacDowell Colony and Yaddo, and her poems have been translated into Armenian, German and Romanian. She lives in Cambridge, MA.

“Susan Barba’s geode is a rich, lyrical meditation on earth and its generative forces as well as its vulnerability to human desecration, violence and ignorance,” writes Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Peter Balakian.
