Barkat decided to write a 30-Day Challenge. The challenge was offered on Substack by \u003ci\u003eThe Write to Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe result? \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Glass: Poems\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf you take anything from \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Glass\u003c\/i\u003e, the poet hopes it will be this: you can make it through. The poems themselves are testament to life's surprising turns; they look both backwards and forwards, with the realization that it is art that holds us (or can). What else holds us? The love of those we choose to surround ourselves with, whether from past or present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll thirty prompts are included at the back of the collection, so you can use them, too-compliments of \u003ci\u003eThe Write to Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePrelude\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Bonus Poem Before We Begin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sparrow Beyond the Glass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe 30 Poems\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1-sparrow\u003cbr\u003e 2-would\u003cbr\u003e 3-Night\u003cbr\u003e 4-Writing to the \"Favorite Hot Drink\" Prompt\u003cbr\u003e 5-After a Collage by Catherine Abbey Hodges\u003cbr\u003e 6-First Memory, Cherished\u003cbr\u003e 7-Despereaux, Darling\u003cbr\u003e 8-Salary\u003cbr\u003e 9-The Big Red Heart Box\u003cbr\u003e 10-Ford Torino\u003cbr\u003e 11-Father Fashion\u003cbr\u003e 12-Titania's Note Left by the Door, Photocopied by Oberon\u003cbr\u003e 13-Giveaway\u003cbr\u003e 14-Plaint\u003cbr\u003e 15-After Emily\u003cbr\u003e 16-Cut\u003cbr\u003e 17-1930s Bedroom Closet\u003cbr\u003e 18-Grand Jury\u003cbr\u003e 19-Secrets (Yours)\u003cbr\u003e 20-Sloansville II\u003cbr\u003e 21-\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eTo the Road That Intersects Corbin Hill, Where a Corner Store Sold Orange Creamsicles (Which I Loved)\u003cbr\u003e 22-Avatar\u003cbr\u003e 23-Lessons in Glass\u003cbr\u003e 24-Photograph: Aruba, 1938\u003cbr\u003e 25-Twins with My Sister's Steel Grey\u003cbr\u003e 26-Repair Woman\u003cbr\u003e 27-Paris to London, 1992\u003cbr\u003e 28-To Earth\u003cbr\u003e 29-Garnet\u003cbr\u003e 30-The Spice Carousel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe 30 Prompts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e L.
