Vague memories of road trips, skateboarding, the ocean, and ping-pong are all reconstructed in the shape of a barn and set on fire. We're not even sure they're poems. Maybe they are just: BARN. Go ahead, take off your shoes and drive off a cliff. The barn awaits.
"I haven't read this book yet, but the clarity and candor implied in the title alone make me think it could be the greatest-ever book of poems about barns." - Dave Eggers, author of The Captain and the Glory
"A fun exploration of the power of arbitrary constraints, with Brautiganesque, perverse humor. I now know as little about barns as I did before." - Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields
"50 Barn Poems seems like it's making fun of barns, or poems, or poets, or books. I like that about it." - Elizabeth Ellen, author of Elizabeth Ellen and Person/a
"These poems fall across America with their heavy beams and flaking paint. Zac Smith has captured absurdity with empathy and humour in a collection that feels wholly contemporary." - Giacomo Pope, founder of Neutral Spaces and author of 50 Barn Blurbs
