The Writers Guild at Bloomington presents Last Sunday Poetry, featuring Steve Henn and Josh A. Brewer.
Sponsored in part by Indiana Humanities.

STEVE HENN teaches high school English in northern Indiana. His previous books include Guilty Prayer (Main Street Rag, 2021) and Indiana Noble Sad Man of the Year (Wolfson, 2017). He's proud of the children of himself and late American artist Lydia Henn. He roots for the Fighting Irish, played high school soccer, and gives poetry readings in all kinds of places, from Pittsburgh to Milwaukee to Long Beach, travel conditions and money conditions and time permitting. His new collection, Trying To Catch a Flame in this Windstorm at the End of the World (2025), is available now from Arroyo Seco Press, Amazon, and other places. Deep Cuts is due out from Wolfson Press in 2026. Steve's favorite food is crab cakes, which are also a unit of value measurement for anything in the world (e.g. this website = 37 crab cakes).
