Day: November 30, 2018

Some of our readers know of my brother Dennis from previous post mentions, including the August 2018 publication of his latest book of poetry, The Taste of Flesh.  Earlier this month he embarked on his latest project, challenging himself to write a poem each day (into the indefinite future?). The poems were made available by email subscription, but I have now created a page to assemble these pieces under one convenient link. (Click on the POTD link under “Family and Friends” in the left column of this page for access.)

For those wondering, Dennis’ history has included receiving an English degree from Iowa State University, working as an investigative newspaper reporter, editing and publishing the literary journal Crania, founding the publishing entity Crania Press, winning the 1992 Flannery O’Conner national Short Fiction award with his book The Consequences of Desire, teaching as a UCLA creative writing instructor, and publishing in many literary journals and media. He also owned and operated a general contracting construction business in Los Angeles, restored classic automobiles in his backyard garage after retirement, and continues to work as a community activist in Venice, CA.  And Dennis tells me that he has two book projects (fiction and non-fiction) in the works as well as a new website under development.
