Boy Running

An artful collection of poems by noted Welsh poet Paul Henry, Boy Running is the first to follow his widely praisedThe Brittle Sea. A singer-songwriter, Henry is known for his precise lyricism, intimate tone, and a cast of characters inspired by his childhood by the sea in Aberystwyth, West Wales. The lyrical beauty of the poems will appeal to those who enjoy folk music, and anyone going through divorce will empathize with the poet/protagonist of the poems.

Paul Henry is one of Wales’s leading poets. His work has been widely anthologized and regularly appears in journals such asPoetry Wales and the Times Literary Supplement. He is the author ofThe Brittle Sea, Ingrid’s Husband, The Milk Thief, and Time Pieces. A popular creative writing tutor, he lectured at the University of South Wales and led courses at writers’ centers in the UK and France. He has also written and presented arts programs for BBC Radio Wales.
