  Obituary: Adrian Henri | By genre | Guardian Unlimited Books
Adrian Henri, who has died aged 68, was perhaps best known as a poet, though he was primarily a painter, as evidenced in a recent retrospective at Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery.
Adrian's poems were very much those of a painter; he wrote what he saw, as much as what he felt, though what he described was often expressed with such passion that even the most simplistic listings of people or places were lit with an emotional glow.
Of course, Adrian's role as communicator had never been restricted to words and canvases; from his post-student days he had taught at schools, colleges of further education and, most notably, at Liverpool College of Art.

 Journalism
Adrian Henri was happy to stay where the wind from the Mersey ’has fish and chips on its breath’.
Henri’s house is an early ‘seventies timewarp, crammed with bizarre objets collected over the years: a snake in a bottle, a spectacular thirties hairdressers’ window decoration he calls ‘Ruby’, sticks of rock with ‘Catherine’ and ‘Adrian’ printed through, a beaded plane bought in South Africa, and skull decorations from the Mexican ‘Day of the Dead’.
Henri replies quietly that he isn’t very impressed by her - but that some conceptual art is very interesting, in that it goes back to the surrealists’ ‘tradition’.

 Adrian Henri - John Peel article
Sheila and I were pleased about this, having spent a fair amount of time with Adrian in the late sixties and early seventies, but we were warned that ill health might keep him from attending either the lunch or the afternoon's ceremony, at which he, too, was due to be honoured with a doctorate.

 \"Love is...\" by Adrian Henri - Referat
The poem "Love is..." by Adrian Henri is about the definition of love by which the poet uses a syntatic parallelism.
For examle,in the second verse in line 5 he says that love is "fish and chips on winter nights" by which Henri makes a fool of the meaning.But perhaps someone can identify with this situation with what ist has a special meaning for eachone.
This fact you can find out in each line,because all the metaphors are easy to understand passages with a melancholy meaning.Through the syntactic parallelism the statement will be confirmed.This reason showas you why the poet resignes of using similies,because he wants to convince his readers.
