In 1959, when thirty-seven-year-old Nell Blaine was an acclaimed young painter in New York, she contracted polio on a trip to Greece, rendering her a paraplegic. Remastering her painting skills, she became one of America's great watercolorists, with a rhythmic, colorful style that animated landscapes, city views, and still lifes.
Poetry. Edited by Marc Cohen. Foreword by John Ashbery. "Gerrit Henry didn't publish enough in his lifetime to be considered a 'neglected or overlooked poet.' THE TIME OF THE NIGHT is the best and only introduction we have to one of the great poets of my generation. Be prepared to take a roller coaster through hell (or is it Manhattan?), if only to see what illusions of bliss and tatters of happiness still remain to be had. Always a witness to the highs and lows of life, Henry is a poet of disturbing rhyme (unsettling connections) and wrenching lyricism (think singer/composer). In fact, his work stands right next to that of Thom Gunn, but, make no mistake, it is all his own. Gunn would have deeply loved a poet who could write: 'My affair with Alfred Hitchcock / Consisted of a fat, black silhouette, / And a skinless Cornish hen.' If these poems don't knock your socks or knickers off, then you are a lot deader than you think" John Yau."
