_Welcome to Dennis' Page_
(http://members.aol.com:/djs2306/Welcometodeejs/Welcome_to_deejs.html)
I was born in Fort Dodge in
northwestern Iowa and received my early education in a small town in
the southeastern area of the state, near the Mississippi River. My
college and postgraduate studies in musical composition were
completed at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls and
University of Iowa, Iowa City respectively. My literary work is
an avocation.
I enjoy reading all types of literature, but especially enjoy
fiction and
the writing of contemplative authors from antiquity to the present
day. The poetry of Whitman, Poe, Pound and more recently Langston
Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Carl Sandburg, Margaret Attwood among others
and especially Mary Oliver, figure as important influences.
Published titles include:
Random Raging Images and Other Ramblings - Second Edition - a
book of short stories and poetry published by SynergEbooks, (King
NC, 2003)
and a small collection of poetry, Sketches From Nature,
published by Kastle ePublishing, Books (Trenton FL, 2002).
My work has been anthologized in several collections
including When I Was A Child (poetry 2003) and Sojourns
(short stories 2003), both published by Poetworks Press
(New Smyrna Beach, FL) and Voice of a Soldier (short story
2006), Sunpiper Press (Hayden, Alabama)
