Poets and Poems: Tina Barry and "I Tell Henrietta"

I Tell Henrietta by Tina Barry may win my “most creative idea for a poetry collection” award for the year. 

It is a poetry collection, comprised of free verse and prose poems. 

 

It also might be a collection of micro-fictions. 

 

And it is a collection of arresting and often startling artwork by artist Kristin Flynn. The artwork might illustrate the poems, or the poem might explain the artwork. Maybe both.
