February 27, 2008 (FPRC) --
Penha’s poetic tales take us to Borneo, Bali, Bangkok, China, Nepal, and Australia; his words painting places, people, and concepts that captivate.
Virginia Howard, Editor of THEMA, said, "James Penha is able to mold exotic topics into poignant universal truths."
“I often feel more like a painter than a poet,” says Penha. “I see what’s horribly and beautifully in front of my eyes—only peripherally visible to passersby—and try to frame those images with colors sometimes bolder than real (sometimes black and white), with a composition that leads an audience in time through a narrative, and with discernible brushstrokes proving that some one, at least, has noticed.”
A native New Yorker, James Penha has lived for the past sixteen years in Indonesia. No Bones to Carry, the latest volume of Penha’s poetry, has just been published by New Sins Press. Among the most recent of his many other published works are an article in Classroom Notes Plus; fiction at East of the Web and Ignavia; and poems in THEMA, and in the anthologies Silver Boomers (Silver Boomer Books), Queer Collection (Fabulist Flash Publishing) and Only the Sea Keeps: Poetry of the Tsunami (Bayeux Press). Penha edits a website for current-events poetry at New Verse News. Learn more about this talented poet at James Penha.com.
