Seller's Description:
Near Fine. A Near Fine copy of the First Edition with newspaper clipping of review laid in loose. A nice, clean copy. Signed and inscribed by the author on the title page: 'For Michael, / With all good wishes, / Brian Henry'. Tall 8vo. -over 7¾ in. -9¾ in. 'Verse magazine and Verse press co-editor Henry's two previous books, Astronaut and American Incident, appeared in the U.S. in 2002; each flaunted his skill with verbal disjunction and whimsical cut-up tales. This new book is a departure, having a single subject and a rigorously unified tone. The subject is sex, and the tone is dry, self-punishing and removed. The volume's first half offers a decidedly male perspective on heterosexual sex, from the heat of a first encounter to a long-renewed, occasionally embittered passion. 'Your legs will not spread wide enough/ to allow for the loosening, ' Henry says of one scene; another finds 'No part of her not shedding in my mouth. ' Self-abasement, disgust and highly conflicted poems about sex between men come to the fore in Part II. Though many stanzas can be direct, others inspire a bracing abstraction; sexual encounters and memories occur amid a riverine, chilly landscape, marked by oil drums, 'suffering' and 'real snow. ' The most discursive poems suggest the productive influence of Donald Revell; more lyrical segments, such as 'Another Cross, ' combine that influence with C.D. Wright. The last, perhaps best, poems move from 'thoughts uncertain of the effect/ they seek' to 'the pain/ of skin against skin. ' Henry asks elsewhere if writing about sex 'requires a constant/ violence against specifics/ as desire takes over the mind of the task? ' It is a question this volume seems designed to provoke. ' ~ Publisher's Weekly.
