With precise, vivid language, Barry renders a reality that is always more than meets the eye, always shifting and deepening our perception of the known and unknown. Barry invites readers into a lyrical world of joy, wonder, loss, humor, and human connection. \u003ci\u003eThe Marvelous Real\u003c\/i\u003e is a journey in sound, rhythm, and imagery-from a mother as Walden Pond, to déjà vu in Old San Juan, to a childhood game of old church lady bank robbers, a work from Picasso's Blue Period, and a brother's hands. These poems illustrate the power of language to embody and transcend human experience. Barry's debut is indeed a marvelous real. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFinalist, 2025 Birdy Poetry Prize by Meadowlark Press","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53015256269073,"sku":"NIN9781956578843","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781956578843.jpg?v=1768160692","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/marvelous-real-book-tess-barry-9781956578843","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
