Al Barz

Cacophony of Stardust Al Barz

This collection, laid down from many of the writer's experiences, stretches back through several decades. Ballet and business, prison and performance, college and comedy, each have a part in the life and words gathered for this, his first collection. However, examples of his writing are scattered across the Internet and more than a handful of charity anthologies as well as in an Annual of a national magazine. He has also run a Sci-Fi group and edited it's magazine. Al Barz has performed many poems, often with his keyboard or self-composed backing tracks, at many venues across the West Midlands and beyond. He has headlined at various gigs, won a poetry slam, been part of a singing duo and a poetry quartet, organised large and small music and poetry events, and acted on over a dozen stages across the country as well as a film and a TV ad.
