With On Broad Sound, Rusty Barnes turns his attention from his rural Appalachian roots to twenty plus years of living in a working class suburb of Boston. Ranging widely in subject matter, On Broad Sound's poems were inspired by and often titled with locations in and around the author's adopted home in Revere, Massachusetts. Whether it's observing planes land at Logan Airport, eating cookies with the city mayor or watching his children play in a marsh partially sectioned off by yellow crime tape, On Broad Sound is part urban travelogue and part sharp portrayal of modern life.

Industry Reviews

Under this celebrated poet's intense microscope, with precise, startling, spike-like language, energized poems butterfly upstream against the current of self-deprecating humor or float in the Atlantic on a big fat existential doughnut. Rusty Barnes isn't afraid to jump into raging floodwaters, slamming into broken dams of memory to display his vivid wounds & scars. -- Ron Androla, Pressure Press Presents
