Collected Poems, Vol. 1 includes all of the poems from Henry's first three titles with Flapjack Press - Staring Directly at the Eclipse, Travelling Second Class Through Hope, and Raining Upwards. Staring Directly at the Eclipse encompasses the subjects of love, death, loneliness, loss, human frailty, and other classic conversation stoppers. Travelling Second Class Through Hope contains seventy poems personally selected by the author from his early works. Raining Upwards explores relationships with science, nature, humanity, and other vital matters we are usually too busy to think about.
