Static and Snow by Brian Henry

Poetry. Brian Henry takes the blank, desolate canvas of snow and searches for a river of color buried. With calm precision he sways from physical to abstract, from stasis to motion. The balance creates a chilling vista on the human connection to the ambivalent force of nature. Henry is the author of ten books of poetry and has garnered numerous awards as a translator. His words reframe perception with unsentimental observations and a seasoned comfort with the gray rapaciousness of winter.

Brian Henry has published twelve collections of poetry, the most recent of which being STATIC & SNOW (Black Ocean, 2015). In 2010, BOA Editions published his translation of Ales Steger's The Book of Things, which won the Best Translated Book Award. He also translated Woods and Chalices by Tomaz Salamun and Smugglers by Ales Debeljak. For his poems and translations, he has earned various honors, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Howard Foundation, and the Slovenian Academy of Arts and Sciences.
