W. Barrett Munn

“What one seems to want in art, in experiencing it, is the same thing that is necessary for its creation, a self-forgetfull, totally useless concentration." - Elizabeth Bishop

“Withholding information in your writing does not create suspense; all it does is create confusion.” - W. Barrett Munn

I’m Winston. I publish as W. Barrett Munn
I’ve had 70+ poems (honestly, I've lost count) chosen by editors for publication in literary journals, both print and online. I spend 2 hours each morning trying to reach that state of self-forgetful, totally useless concentration that makes art possible to create.
