“There are times, like these, when healing and wholeness are found arising, as likely as anywhere, from the ashes of pain, loss, woundedness, and untimely death. For decades, Christopher Henrikson has been our visionary minstrel of the dark alley, a street bard conjuring and wrestling truth, magic, love, and community from the exhumed hearts found in the raging streets, the pen, the crack houses, the ER. These poems cleanse and inspire.”

Bill Plotkin, author of Soulcraft: Crossing into the journey of Soul Initiation: A Field Guide for Visionaries, Evolutionaries, and Revolutionaries.
