Astronaut
The debut collection of poems by Brian Henry.
Brother No One
The poems in 'Brother No One' take their bearings from our surveillance society, where no action goes unnoticed. The line between victim and perpetrator is blurred. Brian Henry takes on these themes with dizzying energy, examining their effects on language, the body, perception, and the possibility of human love.
The Stripping Point
Poetry. In THE STRIPPING POINT Brian Henry moves through extremes of formal invention and referentiality in two poetic series immersed in the lust and language of the everyday. Set at a paper mill in the 1990s, "More Dangerous Than Dying" charts the vicissitudes of a relationship that is simultaneously new and at its depleted end. In "The Stripping Point," language confronts and interleaves desire, enacting the dissipation of both as the poem is "stripped" as it progresses. Once again, Brian Henry raises the stakes for contemporary poetry.
Wings Without Birds
Brian Henry’s Wings Without Birds reconfigures the quotidian, making the everyday a site for innovation and investigation. Although diverse in form, these poems continually return to explorations of family, time, selfhood, and physical space. Moving through marriage and parenthood, the house and the backyard, Henry’s poems consider ways of being simultaneously singular and plural. Although known for having a dark and satirical sensibility, he brings compassion and self-deprecating humor to Wings Without Birds, delving into what binds people to each other. At the center of the book, the long poem “Where We Stand Now” offers a meditative stream of quotidiana that captures both the daily and the domestic with tenderness, wit, and vigor. With other poets who have informed his aesthetic—particularly James Schuyler, Kenneth Koch, and John Forbes—as the book’s presiding spirits, Henry continually explores how to occupy a moment, how to identify “what dominates the near.”
Quarantine
Poetry. QUARANTINE is a book-length poem narrated by a man dying of the bubonic plague. Set outside London during the summer of 1665, the poem explores issues of sexuality and subjectivity while narrating a life within death. The narrative accumulates via accretion and contradiction, complicating the narrator's attempts to truthfully describe his life, and therefore complicating the narrative itself. QUARANTINE is the fourth book by Henry and won the 2003 Alice Fay di Castagnola Award from the Poetry Society of America. His previous titles include AMERICAN INCIDENT and GRAFT. Henry teaches at the University of Richmond.

Graft
Poetry. "I honor and admire these poems for their groundwork understanding.Here, oppression is shown forth as a condition of language, a violence of syntax. And here, in resistance to oppression, extraordinariness lifts a beautiful, if harried, affirming sound. With signal integrity, the poet exploits no popular catastrophe but chooses, instead, to enter the mythic heart of catastrophe, there to make new myths" Donald Revell."
