Editorial Reviews
"Barnabas Smith, native Southern Californian, and incurable vagabond-- has a sense of constant duality that only comes from a background of internalizing and observing his lifelong construct of living both within and outside of the world we see (Though he does not address his family history, it is something that does play into his outlook and innate ability to synthesis ideas and concepts that are both elegant and frustratingly simple once put to page in novel ways)." Jshidler, Amazon review of Movement & Repose (2012).
