His body of work, including eight books of poems, already establishes him as a major writer of our times. Henri Cole, through his poetry, provides a creative means for young people to express the confusion that many of them feel in today’s constantly-evolving world. As the UAS’ first creative writer and poet, he adds the beauty of language to that of film, music and visual art.
