Publisher's Synopsis
In FRICTION & ENTROPY Christian Henderson evokes mood as much as color, space, and human connection, all contained within a realm of contradiction. He highlights the imbalances within those relationships and how the speaker often comes to a fork, a decision to continue despite the disparity in expectation and fulfillment or to simply dismiss the link that binds them. He evokes scenes of nature and man, sometimes one, though often in direct contrast to each other. Universal anthropomorphic imagery, the human body itself, specific place and time all contribute to a sense of the ethereal as distinct from the actual, yet somehow both inhabit the same plane in these poems.
