Matthew E. Henry (MEH):
Educator, Poet, Editor, Speaker, Apparent Enjoyer of Academic Debt.
Dr. Matthew E. Henry (MEH) is the Boston-born author of the full length collections the Colored page (Sundress Publication, 2022), The Third Renunciation (New York Quarterly Books, 2023), and said the Frog to the scorpion (Harbor Editions, 2024), the chapbooks Teaching While Black (Main Street Rag, 2020) and Dust & Ashes (Californios Press, 2020), and the micro-chapbook have you heard the one about…?. (Ghost City Press, 2023). (MEH is editor-in-chief of The Weight Journal and an associate poetry editor at Pidgeonholes . He’s been nominated and won some recognition for his poetry, but for some reason he continues to dabble in prose.
He received his MFA in poetry from Seattle Pacific University, yet continued to spend money he didn’t have completing a MA in theology (Andover Newton Theological School) and a PhD in education (Lesley University). He’s not done schooling yet.
MEH is an educator whose career has found him teaching English, teacher education, philosophy, and sociology at the high school, college, and graduate levels. His writing shines a black-light on the bed of education, race, relationships, religion, and everything else you’re not supposed to discuss in polite company. He’s been known to make some sad and angry people irrationally uncomfortable. But he should not be confused with the long dead, white, theologian.
