After 45 years in Providence, Rhode Island, Henry Gould returned to his native Minneapolis in 2015. His poetry, reviews and essays have appeared in various journals. During the 1990s, he edited (with Janet Sullivan) the literary journal NEDGE. His many books of poetry include STONE (Copper Beech Press, 1979) and STUBBORN GREW (Spuyten Duyvil Press, 2000). He has also published a prose/poetry memoir, HOLY FOOL, as well as a combined fiction/poetry volume, CHAPEL HILL.
Gould co-edited (with Susan Brown and Thomas Epstein) an anthology in honor of poet/translator Edwin Honig, titled A GLASS OF GREEN TEA – WITH HONIG (1994, distr. by Fordham Univ. Press). He also edited a volume of Honig's collected poems, TIME & AGAIN (Xlibris).
A new long poem, THE GREEN RADIUS, was published in 2024 by Contubernales Books.
