The Nov./Dec. issue of Colorado Life featured work by Julie Shavin, Daniel Klawitter, Uche Ogbuji, and Dan Guenther.)
Kathleen Willard's poem "Their Letters" has been anthologized in Proud to Be: Writing by American Warriors. This poem was about her father's tour of duty in Vietnam.
We must work to lose control when control has become too limiting, just as we must assert more vigorously the presence of choice to counter a too great loss of control. The making of poems is in constant tack between these two poles and there will always be poems that fail in this zigzag sail.
Dean Young, (The Art of Recklessness)
