Deftly weaving together people and scenes, Brian James Barr presents rich commentary on adult relationships. Barr’s characters speak with an open and true voice, creating genuine intimacy in his writing. His vernacular, subject matter, and style, all work to make Barr’s writing distinctly contemporary. 

Barr is a photographer and writer living in West Seattle, Washington. A contributor to The New York Times, Tin House, Oxford American, Seattle Weekly, and others, he is currently at work on a photo series documenting Seattle’s diverse, working class neighborhoods White Center and South Park.
