n Its hard to believe that this American master--and I dont use those words lightly--has been hidden right under our noses for decades. But despite his lack of recognition, Mr. Hennen...has simply gone about his calling with humility and gratitude in a culture whose primary crop has become fame. He just watches, waits and then strikes, delivering heart-buckling lines. --Dana Jennings, The New York TimesAs with Ted Kooser, Tom Hennen is a genius of the common touch. . . . They are amazingly modest men who early accepted poetry as a calling in ancient terms and never let up despite being ignored early on. They return to the readers a thousandfold for their attentions.--Jim Harrison, from the introductionMany readers will appreciate this evocation of a life not as commonly portrayed in contemporary verse.--Library JournalThere is something of the ancient Chinese poets in Hennen, of Clare and Thoreau, although he is very much a contemporary poet.--Willow SpringsOne of the most charming things about Tom Hennens poems is his strange ability to bring immense amounts of space, often uninhabited space, into his mind and so into the whole poem.--Robert BlyAmerica is a country that loves its advertising. That loves its boxes we can put people and places into. We love Heartland as opposed to Dustbowl. We also love to be surprised. Rural Minnesota, as written by Tom Hennen in Darkness Sticks to Everything, is a world of realistic loneliness and lessons. Its a collection of sincere poems about man and the land.--The RumpusHennen is a master of the prose poem [who] can take little details, tiny details and make them universal.--River Falls JournalWhat separates Hennen from many of his contemporaries is his willingness to identify with the natural world in a way that feels neither possessive nor self-serving, but simply (once again) sincere.--Basalt Magazine There is something strong in all Tom Hennens poems, an awareness and a clear, sure voice... I dont usually want to end by saying Buy this book, but Im going to say it this time: You should buy this book.--Fleda Brown, Interlochen Public Radio[A] delight to read for the person who is willing to slow down with Hennen and take a look under a leaf, or at a bee, or into their own reflection in a rain drop.--The CorresponderTom
