Sobre IBD

Former Shakespeare teacher, novelist, memoirist, and founding editor of Ploughshares, DeWitt Henry in his first full collection of poems goes in varied and unexpected directions, from 'mapping the heart' to meditating on the DNA of everyday words such as 'candidate.' He delights in quick-witted, gymnastic free association, contrary directions of thought and argument, and freely negotiates between the colloquial and literary, the personal and the cultural, and mixes moral searching with a benign, self-depreciating humor. His favorite pronoun is 'we.'  A deeply lived, engaging, and original debut.

  • Sweet Marjoram
    DeWitt Henry
    Be warned! The far-ranging notes and essays of Sweet Marjoram are addictive. Once I began reading, I couldn’t stop. I wanted more of Henry’s wit and wisdom, his dazzling, surprising juxtapositions. I wanted to see him keep making the familiar new, and the strange familiar. Whether he’s writing about folly or time or food or meat or envy or appetite, Henry has a gift for making ...
