This page of the bibliography covers Laird Barron's poetry.
From author biographical information in these poetry magazines and elsewhere, I know that poems were published in Vowel Movement, Undressed, Ixion, The Adirondack Review, and Mefisto. I have no further information about them at the present. I also know that "local (Alaska) papers" printed some of Barron's youthful poetry (part of the "reams of bad, bad Robert Service-inspired poetry", perhaps) but I have even less information about those.
