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]
