Thirty Miles to Rosebud

Fiction. "THIRTY MILES TO ROSEBUD depicts a series of imploding families and fast interstates. Barbara Henning's landscapes--a rust-belt childhood, a nearly forgotten East Village Bohemia and the arid Southwest streaked with the setting sun--are populated by runaways, lost loves and lifelong betrayals. In this remarkable novel, Henning's eye for detail and her emotional honesty enables the past to loom in the rear-view mirror long after the car has sped by" -- Donald Breckenridge.

Barbara Henning is the author of two novels, YOU, ME, AND THE INSECTS and Black Lace. Her books of poetry include MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY, Detective Sentences, LOVE MAKES THINKING DARK, SMOKING IN THE TWILIGHT BAR, as well as numerous chapbooks and a series of photo-poem pamphlets. A collection of prose and poetry, CITIES & MEMORY, is forthcoming from Chax Press. A native Detroiter and a long-time resident of New York City, she now lives in Tucson, Arizona.
