Braille Rainbow: poems

by Mike Barnes

FINALIST FOR THE 2020 NELSON BALL PRIZE "In a dark time," wrote Theodore Roethke, "the eye begins to see"―and with Braille Rainbow , Mike Barnes reveals both darkness and the light that shines beyond it. Beginning with a suite of poems completed before and immediately following his admission to a psychiatric unit as a young man, Barnes's quiet lyricism and formal sensitivity capture those moments of perception that remind us how to see. Please note that the text of this book is not produced in braille.

Couldn't follow his path. seemed like disconnected words rather than purposeful construction.
