About the Book

H Is for Harry, the third book of poetry from Susan Sink, is a tightly woven collection of poems on a variety of subjects, including divorce and remarriage, the role of language and literature in life, and the ways in which language contributes to identity. The title poem explores the author's first encounter with language, namely the letter h, which comes to mean things in the real world, like Helen Keller's first apprehension of the word water spelled into her hand. The poems take place in a variety of American landscapes, the Atlantic coast of her childhood vacations and the more foreboding Pacific of adulthood. She takes us on a long bike ride through the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn, and the hills of Northern California, asserting a self into the many-storied places she lives, from sea to shining sea. There is delight in the life and in the language, as the narrator of the poems finds her way in and out of marriages and seeks a way to integrate the experiences-- even going so far as to put the two husbands together in a poem. These poems are deeply rooted and wildly generous, like the dazzling litany that describes the author's large vegetable garden, a celebration of sustenance and abundance reflecting the collection itself.
About the Author: Susan Sink is a writer and poet living on eighty acres in Central Minnesota. Her literary awards include the Wallace Stegner Fellowship in poetry from Stanford, and prestigious residencies at Yaddo, the MacDowell Colony, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. Her poems have been published in many national literary magazines, including Poetry, Chicago Review, Santa Monica Review, and Spirituality & Health.
