The Slipped Leash

Meer over het boek

The poems in Paul Henry's fourth collection focus on the choices people make—between music and silence, impulse and security. His subjects range widely and include a 21st-century muse housed in the jazz clubs and seedy hotels of European cities. Yet poems on the loss of his mother, a singer, bring back to heart what is ultimately dearest to him—that early music that shapes his longing.
