Hi friends, thanks very much for listening to Poetry on Bound. Season 7 is finished and

season 8 is going to be coming out in the winter. And in the meanwhile, in between these

seasons, we're going to be releasing a few interviews that I did last year at the 2022

Dodge Poetry Festival in Newark, in New Jersey, in the States. There was a great time to

be there. Thanks very much to Martin Farrowwell and everybody else involved in that festival

for the invitation and the warm welcome. I know you'll enjoy these interviews. It was

schedule and in your program. But there you'll hear about his ten collections, his many prizes,

the King Lee Tufts Award, the Rome and Berlin prizes, the Lenore Marshall Award, also about

his most recent collection, Blizzard, which was published in 2020. And in April 2023, Gravity

and Centre, which is a selection of his sonnets, will be released. Henri has been poetry editor

for a new republic, has taught at Ohio State University in Harvard and Yale and currently

teaches at Claremont McKenna in Boston, which is where he, well, I'm not sure where that is.
