Comment:
I personally don't see the pompous ego everyone else seems to talk about. Barnstone gives people the free will to express themselves. He gives good an constructive criticism without being rude. He genuinely takes his time to enjoy every students' work. He's inspires his students to be the best writers they can be. Would recommend, would take again.

Comment:
I am a former student. He significantly contributed to my career, and I am forever grateful for that. He is much more of a writer than a teacher, which works very well for top students, but doesn't much help the floaters.

Comment:
Professor Barnstone was GREAT!! I mean if you like sitting in class listening to lectures that last forever. The good thing about the lectures is you don't need to take notes and they have little relevance to your learning and grade. You just listen to him talk, do the readings, and you will get a solid grade. Take his class!!

Comment:
Barnstone is often called conceited because it's true. As a professor he's okay, kind of lazy. Takes forever to grade papers because he's "working on some manuscript deadline" or another, meanwhile neglecting his Whittier responsibilities. Forgets you asked him about going to office hours and barks at you to make an appt when you show up. Eew.

Tony is a wonderful professor and person. He is accused of being conceited and self-serving but in reality, he uses his connections with fellow poets and writers not in a self-serving way but in a constructive way to help students. He is passionate and humble and honestly wants to help students hone their skills. Take a class. Fall in love.

He is awesome! We had so much fun in his class!! He definitely doesn't go light on the work though he did give us a bit of a break at the end of the semester. He is just an all around cultured, distinguished, interesting person and teacher.

Tony was honest but nurturing. I highly recommend him if you are a budding fiction writer. Or poetry for that matter--though that wasn't my strong suit. His comments were helpful but you gotta bring your "A" game to the class, cause if you suck, he will call you on it. In a nice way :)

I'd have to say that those who speak rashly of Tony never tried to get to know him. I barely know him, and I already recognize the considerate nature that surrounds him. He is a talented poet who can inspire us non-creative writers to write! Give him a chance if you are afraid of writing, his workshops will really help.

Tony Barnstone was my advisor and I will just say that he was very ineffective and, at times, insulting.

Not everyone naturally possesses the skill to write good poetry. However, in his workshop, Tony helps those not blessed with the gift to cultivate their own talent. In my class, I saw many people who started out the semester writing rhymes like "my
