Update, Latest Issue of Holy Ground, 1984, and Other Matters
“I am thinking of the guy out on Croco Road sitting in his cold house with his gun across his lap, waiting for the furnace repair truck to drive up. I am thinking about the woman who walks into the Quick Shop and shoots the clerk to get fifty dollars.”
Don’t hit back; discover beauty in everyone.
If you’ve got it in you, get along with everybody.
Don’t insist on getting even; that’s not for you to do.
“I’ll do the judging,” says God. “I’ll take care of it.” Romans 12: 17

Took a Poetic Memoir class at Washburn University in early summer. I loved it and my teacher, Dennis Etzel, who encouraged, praised, and pointed me beyond old limits toward fascinating new territory. I look forward to sharing some of my manuscript with you in the future.
In the meantime you, you will find Dennis Etzel latest book of poetry, hot off the press here. 
And Dennis says: “By the way, if anyone sends me the receipt showing she or he ordered through SPD, I will mail a special 1984 thank-you package to her or him out of my deepest appreciation.” How about that? You get treats!! Send those receipts to Dennis here: dennis.etzel@washburn.edu
Listening to the most amazing and beautiful people who share their journeys and their souls with me.
