Phillip Barron is an American poet and philosopher who teaches at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. [1] His poetry has won the Nicolás Guillén Outstanding Book Award [2] for philosophical literature and has been featured in many national journals including The Brooklyn Rail, [3] New American Writing, [4] and Janus Head: Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature, Continental Philosophy, Phenomenological Psychology, and the Arts. [5] Barron also has a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Connecticut. [6] [7]
What Comes from a Thing has been described by reviewers as "a masterpiece of phenomenological description in which poetry is not application or a technique for profundity but instead at the heart of philosophical/poetic evocation" [8] and as "laments of postindustrial despair, isolation, and ecological ruin." [9] Through both poetry and philosophy, Barron challenges traditional conceptions of personal identity, reframing identity as a distributed phenomenon "that comes through the tension between the artificial and the untouched." [10] [11]
He was the founding editor of the poetry journal OccuPoetry, an online literary journal which documented poetry and art of the Occupy Movement. [12] He is a member of the Community of Writers poetry workshop, and he edited the 2012 issue of the Squaw Valley Review. [13]
Barron has been cited as an expert on sexism and capital punishment [14] [15] [16] for a 2000 article titled "Gender Discrimination in the US Death Penalty System". [17] In 2013, he appeared on a HuffPost Live segment on gender discrimination in the death penalty. [18]
