In DeWitt Henry's flowing, essay-style poems, surprising convergences and divergences arise as his varied subjects are explored, from a post-marathon bombing house-to-house search in Watertown, Massachusetts; Henry's roles as husband, father, brother-in-law, and grandfather are proffered through a motley lens. Unmatched since Alexander Pope, these essay-poems display wit, verbal playfulness, thoughtfulness, emotion, and personal reflection across an astonishing array of subjects. His poems, deep and cleverly funny, pose unique questions that haven't been asked in poetry before, leaving the reader in a state of wonder. Literary touchstones-Macbeth, The Merchant Of Venice, Romeo And Juliet\, and Hamlet-are combined with lived experience in these poems. Each represents a journey. How delightful are these extended meditations! Wisdom, wit, and learning characterize each narrative poem. Like the most captivating autobiographies, Do I Dream Or Wake? transcends its genre. The personal becomes universal through this enticing array of situations and circumstances. Discover yourself by opening it anywhere!
