Book excerpt: Poetry. QUARANTINE is a book-length poem narrated by a man dying of the bubonic plague. Set outside London during the summer of 1665, the poem explores issues of sexuality and subjectivity while narrating a life within death. The narrative accumulates via accretion and contradiction, complicating the narrator's attempts to truthfully describe his life, and therefore complicating the narrative itself. QUARANTINE is the fourth book by Henry and won the 2003 Alice Fay di Castagnola Award from the Poetry Society of America. His previous titles include AMERICAN INCIDENT and GRAFT. Henry teaches at the University of Richmond.
