GERRIT HENRY, The Time of the Night Forthcoming from the Groundwater Press

A long-awaited project is at last once more underway: we will soon publish Gerrit Henry's posthumous selected poems, edited and introduced by Marc Cohen, his literary executor. The Time of the Night: Selected Poems by Gerrit Henry will also offer the introductions written for Gerrit's earlier books by John Ashbery and David Lehman. The cover will feature a portrait of Gerrit from Alex Katz's 1977 painting "Place," now at the Whitney Museum. Look for a new book announcement by 2010!
