      <image:caption>Southern Illinois University Press In these edgy poems of witness, Sara Henning’s speaker serves as both conduit and curator of the destructive legacies of alcoholism and multigenerational closeting. 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.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“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</image:caption>

      <image:title>View from True North - VIEW FROM TRUE NORTH</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Sara Henning writes in the proud tradition of such contemporary masters as James Wright, Lorine Niedecker, and Stanley Plumly. Like them, she understands that the task of relating family history is sometimes indistinguishable from lamentation. Also like them, she situates her poems in the hardscrabble precincts of the rural Midwest, locales upon which she bestows a troubled grace—thanks to her formal elegance, her startling metaphors, and her dexterous command of narrative. View from True North is a grave and bracing debut, a collection of unusual promise.” —David Wojahn, author of For the Scribe</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Southern Illinois University Press In these edgy poems of witness, Sara Henning’s speaker serves as both conduit and curator of the destructive legacies of alcoholism and multigenerational closeting. 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.</image:caption>

The poems radiate with the uncanny, the dis-ease of a troubling dream, of déjà vu, of clairvoyance. The familiar here is strange, the strange familiar.” –Eric Pankey</image:caption>

      <image:title>Terra Incognita - TERRA INCOGNITA</image:title>
      <image:caption>“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 Order your copy here!</image:caption>

      <image:title>BURN - BURN</image:title>
      <image:caption>“When the embers of a blaze drift upward over the spindrifts of a churning time, we receive Henning’s language in curlicues of smoke. The poems in Burn meditate on what comes after the ash, pondering how we must have moved forward with our hands extended outward into the miracle of the open air. Her splendid lyrical words return us again and again to the clearing where somehow, despite it all, we are still able to breathe.” —Oliver de la Paz, author of The Diaspora Sonnets Selected by Allison Joseph as a 2022 Crab Orchard Series in Poetry Editor’s Selection.
