"Vividly unclassifiable," Nathan Leslie
"Tina Barry’s astonishing
I Tell Henrietta explores thresholds between the dream world and wakefulness, and between poetry and prose." Mary Biddinger
"Line up the poems in Barry's I Tell Henrietta on the bar and take them like shots ... without any chaser."
Joshua Davis
" ... Barry's stories are soft explosions of beautiful imagery and language and heart...a journey you'll be glad you have taken. "
Francine Witte
" ... part poetry, part micro, these written gems .... are suffused with astute observation, memory and crystalline imagery. Barry's
collection is a must read..."
Nathan Leslie
"I Tell Henrietta is a meticulously observed and lyrical work that evokes the mysteries of the mid-20th-century adult world through a child's eyes and those of the woman she becomes, rendering the resonant moments that stay with us as we grow older in a diary-like series of observations and adventures that the speaker shares with her closest confidante."

"I Tell Henrietta is one of the most creative and unusual collections I've read."
"Barry's poems, and Flynn's artwork, can be unsettling and often jarring, But the images are vivid and the words are as sharp and clear as a cut gemstone."
