I once asked Dennis, what were his favorite movies? He said, Those that made me feel better when Im leaving than when I came in. When asked about his two favorite places, he said, A road that I have never traveled and my childrens heart. Then I asked him for his favorite books and he replied, Those that leave me wiser and kinder. As I read his works, I find myself wiser, kinder and inspired. This was his intent. Through his unique originality, clarity of vision and conviction of thought, he brings the reader, sometimes with gentle compassion and sometimes with forcefulness, to an area of understanding and personal growth. His clarity and individuality plays to our intellectual qualities, while his humor and wit plays on our emotions. Whether in rhyme or free verse, his amazing ability to fuse the richness of his extraordinary diverse life and his connection with nature, with his foundation in Christianity, Eastern philosophy and his belief in a Universal Intelligence will leave you laughing, crying, amazed or inspired, But I guarantee, you will be wiser and kinder.
