David Barnes

David Barnes is a Gen X poet and Gestalt psychotherapist from Cholsey, England. He lives in Paris with his partner and their daughter. You can read his poems in Poets Are Liars Who Tell The Truth (Corrupt Press, 2006). Poems that bite, such as “Bitter Valentine,” love poems, fun poems, poems about Paris “who dances by numbers but longs to release jazz…” and poems that dive into dark waters – the ties of love and suffering that bind him to family back in England, where everyone haunted their own lives.
