Considering the impact of addiction and sexual repression in the family and on its individual members, Henning explores with deft compassion the psychological ramifications of traumas across multiple generations. https://www.sarahenningpoet.com/home-1 daily 1.0 2025-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8041535b409b4d945859d3/1536174644761-B0X0B2ZTH7VOODPPUCGG/Untitled_Artwork+11.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8041535b409b4d945859d3/1536862016436-FQV0OE87E4SW9YXCG74J/1-Home_Footer-2.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8041535b409b4d945859d3/1544124065883-H5KEFIU27BGX0KEV859J/Muted Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8041535b409b4d945859d3/1536861822546-9HWULY2SJT4LE23QNH1S/1-Home_Header-og.png Home “Sara Henning’s Terra Incognita opens with a dream, and the poems undo us the way dreams do, with imagery that is seared into our minds so completely, we can’t shake it. I left this book reluctantly, a little dazed, and wanting to go back inside the world Henning created, “the sky dusk-raw,” the stars “moving braille.” Terra Incognita is a rare book of poems, and Henning is a rare talent.” —Maggie Smith, author of Good Bones and Keep Moving: Notes on Loss, Creativity, and Change https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b8041535b409b4d945859d3/f01dedb1-3feb-4814-b60f-e7c471f76998/SH+14.jpg Home - About Sara Henning Sara Henning is the author of the poetry collections Burn (Southern Illinois University Press, 2024), a 2022 Crab Orchard Series in Poetry Editor’s Selection; Terra Incognita (Ohio University Press, 2022), winner of the 2021 Hollis Summers Poetry Prize; and View from True North (Southern Illinois University Press, 2018), winner of the 2017 Crab Orchard Series in Poetry Open Competition Award and the 2019 High Plains Book Award.
