Includes all the poems from Henry's collections The Fire Hills, A Moonless Night and An Alphabet of Storms, and features many of the poems from his award-winning BBC Radio 4 series, 'A Normal...'. Written between December 2021 and November 2022, The Fire Hills explores new landscapes armed only with a pen and unwarranted optimism. Written between December 2022 and December 2023, A Moonless Night is poetry about embracing darkness and finding light, as the author explores the depths of his lack of substance. Written between January 2024 and December 2024, An Alphabet of Storms is a premature collection of posthumous poems.
