About

Gregory Richard Barden was born in 1958 and raised in Gorham, Maine, surrounded by a world where science met art. The son of a pharmacist father and an artist mother, Gregory grew up steeped in curiosity, creativity, and rhythm.

A musician, writer, and lifelong student of expression, he discovered his love for poetry later in life, first as a quiet form of journaling and healing, then as a calling. His writing, known for its vivid imagery and emotional honesty, quickly resonated with readers online, marking the start of a poetic journey that continues to evolve.

Today, Barden’s poetry bridges the philosophical and the personal, inviting readers to reflect, feel, and find comfort in the shared language of the heart. Melancholy Moon stands as his tribute to the power of words to heal, illuminate, and endure.
