“What did I say? how? or when? I pick at / Conditions of a past no longer conditional.”
In this slim pamphlet of nine deft poems, sparrows flit, and Cain confesses; Li Po's spirit is roused and reprised; and the Biblical Joseph uncomplainingly pitches in to support his partner during their flight from one land to another.
Note: "Shave" first appeared in The Journal of the Core Curriculum. |

| “As the title suggests, the poems in Quinquennial were written over the last five years. A compilation of mistakes! I am a young poet, so I make plenty. Bear in mind that although some of the poems are religious, or draw upon religious sources, they harbor no doctrine.” - JH |
| About this chapbook series: |
These bite-sized booklets are a mouthful of literature each, intended to be read in a single sitting. When you’re done with one, pass it along! Look for them lying around in Boston, Portland, or New York City. When you see one waiting to be read, go ahead and pick it up. Give it a home in your hands for a ten-minute lit snack. Then when you’re finished, leave it behind for the next person to find, in an ATM lobby, on a train station bench, in the coffeeshop, at the pub.
To request a single copy of any chapbook in the series, or a set of copies in bulk quantity so you can pepper them around your neighborhood, just contact the Pen & Anvil Press and we can put a plan together to mail some over to you. You can reach us via the good folks at the Boston Poetry Union, at 139 Mt. Vernon Street, Fitchburg MA 01420. If you don’t have a stamp, feel free to send us an email.
