since 12/15/98		Columns::April 7, 2003 Weekly Reader Prof publishes book of prose, poetry $13.95 Salt Publishing Brian Henry, UGA assistant professor of English and director of the creative writing program, is the author of American Incident, a 172-page collection of prose and poetry. “One of my primary goals in the book is to examine the genre, test the possibilities and limits of the genre, so I included a performance text, fiction, prose poetry, essays in verse and parodies in addition to pieces that are clearly supposed to be ‘poems,’ ” Henry says. “For several years, I was writing in a number of modes--not just poems--and I wanted to bring them all together in one book. ” Henry’s collection has received critical acclaim. According to Library Journal, Henry’s book “showcases a distinctive American poet… Erudite, at times playful, and often requiring several readings, these poems will delight readers who enjoy the work of Charles Olson and Robert Duncan.” Publishers Weekly writes, “This capacious volume from a much-remarked young poet-critic offers versatility, up-to-the-minute references and edgy verbal fireworks framed by a remarkable range of forms.” UGA Today supports QuickTime, Flash, RealPlayer and Acrobat Reader (PDF files).
