AOT #150: Michael J. Henry Podcasts No Stranger Than My Own

The Lighthouse Writers join us in presenting poet Michael J. Henry, reading from and discussing his new collection No Stranger Than My Own. “Michael Henry’s poems are a skilled, luminous negotiation with the surfaces of life and the shapes of memory. A supple writer, equally at home in elegiac as he is in lyric modes, he produces a beautiful fresh music by working the ground where tenderness and rigor meet. His poems, shot through with feeling and perfectly crafted, are as happy sounding the dark classical themes of poetry as they are finding the saving glisten of the everyday.”–Eli Gottlieb, bestselling author of Now You See Him

($13.95) Ghost Road Press ISBN #0-9796255-9-9. You can visit Michael J. Henry’s official web site as well.
