H

4.8/5 ( ratings)

H, the exciting new book by Lambda award-winning poet Jim Elledge, is an impression-ist biography in prose poems of outsider artist Henry Darger. Like Darger, H is entangled in a disturbing triangle: haunted by the spirit of murdered six-year-old Elsie Paroubek; plagued by memories of the childhood sexual abuse he suffered and by the despair he en-dured as an adult because of it; and tormented by the Divine as only believers can be. Through it all, only his "special friend" Whillie provides H sanctuary. H is an unflinching portrait of two men simultaneously-one real, one metaphoric, both extraordinarily complex.
