Steeped in a subject matter that ranges from the speculative to the imaginative, and tempered by the tension between the public and the private, The CTA Chronicles chew on the unavoidable characters and stories found on the Chicago ‘El’.

M. Henry’s moody, intimate, playful and erotic musings are intermittently lyrical, colorful and brash. At times they travel no further than the length of a train carriage, at others, they reach deep into the recesses of memory and as far as Thailand and Vietnam.
