Excerpt from Pop Quiz:
What are we doing is what
we are doing.
What are we doing?
What do we take to be the point
of what we are doing?
What do we value?
What do we take to be the point
of what we value?
What are the paths and diversions we take away
from what we value?
What do we desire and demand?
How does that differ from what we value?
What do we take to be the point
of what we desire and demand?
What are the paths and diversions we take away
from what we desire and demand?
What do we settle for?
For what do we settle?

Barbara Barg is a pre-Socratic / post postmodern / pre-Apocalyptic poet and through those lenses explores writing, music, performance, teaching, the ground, the sky, and life in general. She was raised in Eastern Arkansas near the Mississippi Delta and -- after many wanderings -- moved to New York City where she became a several-times-recognized-in-a-coffee-shop poet/musician on that throbbing scene. She moved to Chicago in 2008. She hopes to out-live fascism and imperialism, but doesn’t let the demise of sane, political discourse destroy subjective attainments of personal happiness and peace where appropriate.
