He means to be the sort of man who, after hearing “the word” dropped casually during a haircut, “will walk/out of some barbershops with his hair half-cut” in protest. He falls short at times, and calls himself on it, reminding us all (‘America, and I’m about to talk / directly to the Eric in you’) to reflect on who we mean to be, so that we can rise up when called upon.

McHenry’s poems, in their beauty and humor, “retrieve a pang / so imprecise it’s briefly everything.” For a time you’ll see your world from the poet’s keen, wit-slanted point of view—and it might change the way that you see for good.

Eric McHenry currently serves as the Poet Laureate of Kansas, and teaches creative writing at Washburn University. He is a native of Topeka, and a fifth generation graduate of Topeka High School. On his connection with Topeka, he says, “I am of Topeka, and I have a hard time talking about what that means, Every Exquisite Thing by Matthew Quick Maestra by L.S. Hilton Real.
