Barry Moores

Barry Moores is a writer who lives in the slipstream of modern society, taking advantage of the quiet air in rural Atlantic Canada. His home in Shoal Harbour, Newfoundland, overlooks the ocean, but is conveniently equidistant between the province's two international airports. Underboard is his first book, self-published in print in 2012. His second book, a retrospective, will be published later this year. After earning a journalism degree in the late 80s, Barry worked in newspapers, radio and as a freelance writer/researcher/graphic designer as well as co-owning a media agency where he was executive editor. He also taught journalism.

Crawford Gordon Video
The poem Crawford Gordon, from Underboard, chronicles the rise and fall of the ill-fated Avro Arrow and the only person the cutting-edge supersonic fighter jet ever killed: the project's general manager, Crawford Gordon. Its depth as a modern tragedy of bright postwar future lost makes it the perfect story to be told with visual elements. The poem is narrated by Barry from the Underboard audiobook, scheduled for release in December 2014.
