Hank Blackwell

Over thirty years ago, New Mexico Men's Wellness sponsored the publication of a men's poetry anthology, Talking from the Heart. Now, A Wind Blows Through Us, celebrates that first collection as well as the beauty and promise of the current male experience. As was said in the first anthology "Each poem is a glimpse into the rich interior life of the man who wrote it. We believe that the avenues leading to healing and reconciliation, to redefinition and harmony, are revealed in the mysteries of poetic language. Each poem is a message sent from one human heart to another

Deriving meaning through the varied incarnations of this life journey, Hank Blackwell appears as a Renaissance man, through seasons of love, longing, loss, grace, and grit. He brings us along in discovering the divine on the way, ultimately sharing his insights, choreographed into this bright rich tapestry of poems. Delight and despair, reflections and observations are woven into a compelling collection of moments of intimacy and universal truths, honed by the perspectives gathered in becoming this thoughtful poet. A collection to be treasured.
