More About the Author

› Visit Amazon's Bruce Henricksen Page

As a child I yanked rhubarb from Mrs. Haugen's garden. My grandmother made rhubarb pie, but I didn't care for it. The best thing about rhubarb was stealing it. Later I graduated from the University of Minnesota and got a Ph.D. from Southern Cal. I taught at Loyola University New Orleans and edited New Orleans Review. My fiction has appeared in quite a few magazines and a couple of anthologies. I'm proud to have Robert Olen Butler's endorsement on my collection, Ticket to a Lonely Town. My first novel, After the Floods, is set in post-Katrina New Orleans and in a fictional Minnesota town that has also suffered disaster. It has been favorably reviewed in the New Orleans Times Picayune and elsewhere. and it's available on Amazon Kindle. I am also editor of From the Other World: Poems in Memory of James Wright. Wright was a poet and teacher whom I have much admired. I live in Duluth MN with a lovely wife who makes pottery and rhubarb pie.

First Sentence:
Feminist criticism, rooted in the civic and intellectual unrest of the 1960s, poses a radical challenge to the liberal arts academy, perhaps the most radical since Petrarch and his "umanista" insisted that the "trivia"-the disciplines of manner and value (rhetoric, logic, and grammar)-should take educational precedence over the quadrivium-the quantitative abstractions of geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, and music.
