At Least He Shuts Up When He Writes

About the Book

It all starts with the lament of a poets' significant other, then ascends and descends to new rhyming environments on every page. You'll be touched by descriptions of Don's relationships, chance encounters, hobbies, and even his family dog. Throw in a couple of trips to the moon, some sarcastic views of classic art mainstays, and even some respectful tributes to special people who have lived their lives to the fullest.

This poetic endeavor is about living positively in a world where humor is its strongest pulse, where love, honesty, and togetherness is a driving force, and where laughter is an underlying gift from a great and merciful Creator. Combine these themes with the skillful, artistic interpretations of talented young artist Bethany Pomranky and you have At Least He Shuts Up When He Writes. Open up, hang on, and be entertained, for life is the entertainment that created Poetry!

About the Author

Don Lundquist, Jr., lives with his wife, Linda, in the south suburbs of Chicago. He has been writing poetry enthusiastically for the last ten years yet does admit to having had some passing interest in the craft while attending high school English classes. Don has a degree in Psychology and has worked in the Social Service field for fifteen years. He currently works as a behavior specialist in a school for handicapped children.

Don has always enjoyed sharing stories and anecdotes with friends and family and has never been afraid to ?embellish? just a bit, a skill that has served him well in writing this book. His other hobbies include cooking, fishing, canoeing, karaoke, and supporting Linda in her stained-glass business.

Needless to say, Don is very excited about publishing his first poetry book.
