Driving With Crazy: Living With Madness Rob Plath

In Jack Henry's moving collection, Driving with Crazy, a boy senses that there is something "missing, something not quite right." As a passenger in his father's car, he realizes the drive will never end. Later, he wonders if a teenager can drive a father mad. Madness is the quiet wind rustling through these contemplative poems. In them, Henry so masterfully, takes us on the life-ride that is the relationship between a father and son. How men become boys and boys become men and how our vulnerabilities unite us. Jack Henry's poetry cuts to the chase never leaving anything behind. Nicca Ray, author, Ray by Ray: A Daughter's Take on the Legend of Nicholas Ray and the poetry collection, Back Seat Baby
