ALUMNI ARTS SPOTLIGHT Jennifer McBay Barry ’01 Jennifer Barry, ’01, is a writer. She writes thousands of words every day, so she is rarely without a keyboard close at hand. However, as much as she enjoys writing, at Cumberlands she pursued a major in vocal performance and seemed well on her way to an opera career. But, an automobile accident four days before she departed for New York to pursue her dream resulted in her following a different career path. Four months later, out of her leg brace, she met Liam Barry, an Irishman who became her husband, and whose homeland became the setting for her debut novel, The Kingdom, published in 2009. “I wrote my first book at age twelve; now I laugh to think about it, but there’s something Photo Submitted about losing myself in another world I’ve created.” said Barry. “I once expressed myself through music, and now I express myself through words.” Following the adventures of Rioghan, Prince of Fairies, who falls in love with the daughter of an opera singer, the novel relies heavily upon the author’s experience as a singer and her classes at Cumberlands. Using Irish history and mythology as a springboard, Barry mixed in some Greek and Roman mythology, some Biblical scripture and a dash of Arthurian legend. She pulled out some of her class notes and found them quite useful in developing her story. “I loved my classes at Cumberland, and used knowledge I learned there,” she said. “I especially enjoyed Dr. Young’s class in Old Testament.” She also said that her minor in children’s literature had been most helpful to her writing. Barry, who has taught English and music, maintains a blog and networks with new writers about becoming published. “I enjoy reaching new authors in a way that not only entertains but also helps them to reach their aspirations,” she says. She lives in Nashville with her husband Liam, and the sequel to The Kingdom will be released during the fall.
