Jack Henry lives in the high desert of SE California. Published in numerous journals, he also has six chapbooks to his name. with the Patience of Monuments is his first full length collection of poetry. Jack Henry is the pen name of Thomas Kenney. Reviews Jack Henry's writing is the real deal. No bullshit, no posing. This is essential American literature.
- Tony O'Neill, Down and Out on Murder Mile (Harper Perennial) I have always admired Jack's writing, his fearless self-revelations combined with a world-view that is equal parts jaded and hopeful...the way he turns himself inside out, and then goes down a little deeper, moves in a bit closer, and, just as you think he's in for the kill, suddenly...a gentle word, a line so full of such graceful beauty you get, well, slammed in the face. Again.
- Puma Perl, Belinda and her Friends (Erbacce Press) Jack Henry's poetic voice speaks here again with mastery and precision...These poems will cut you, then rifle through your wallet. But they will also reveal vulnerability and humanity while so doing. This is a book you need.
- David McLean, Hellbound (Epic Rites Press) Jack Henry's large heart, a veteran of wars, accidents, fears, madness, disillusion, is, in these 80 different dance halls of image and sound, breaking invisible bread with jesus as the latter downs his meds with shots of tequila, while on the corner of 6th and Los Angeles Streets the meteor of hope has crashed into Obama's tag team and the churches of the sky are rolling across clouds of Charlie Parker's smoke.
