About this product
Product Information
This substantial selection from the work of Paul Henry confirms that he has, over two decades, been quietly building an ouvre of beautifully crafted poems. And, by popular request, in the new poemsA section, rugby fans will find the three poems Henry was commissioned to write for BBC2's 'Poetry in Motion', which celebrated the Welsh national rugby team as they prepared for the 2008 rugby world cup. Born in Aberystwyth on the west coast of Wales, into a family of musicians, music pervades his poems on childhood, as do a large cast of aunts, neighbours, friends and relations, many of whom appear in Dylan Thomas-like character sketches. Henry doesn't pin his characters down but allows them to flourish as archetypes, evokes their history and context with a rare empathy and a lyrical lightness of touch. Some of his earliest portrait-poems are set against the Breconshire villages where Henry lived from his mid teens, a move south to Newport, Gwent, inspires poems about the undulating river Usk and the post-industrial cityscape and its impact on people's lives. The individual human voice, the ragged vagaries of the heart and soul, the joys and sorrows of family life feature here but this poetry is personal without being confessional, preferring tender observation to sensationalism or didacticism. For a poet well-kwn for one-page lyrics it is instructive to be reminded of several of his longer sequences, such as those in 'The Shell House' which vary in tone per section, much like a concerto or musical piece.
