Hey everyone - Glenn Schultz is a celebrity! Glenn was featured in our local newspaper, The Oxford Leader, this week.
We all know that Glenn is extremely talented and this article focused on his literary abilities. Glenn has published a collection of his poetry. The book is titled, "The Verser's Curse."
The paper printed one of Glenn's poems. It whets the appetite for more!
Congratulations Glenn!

When I had the good fortune to visit Glenn at his home a few months back, I was blessed to not only acquire a few Weasels for my family, but to hear Glenn read a few of his wordsmith masterpieces. I am reluctant to refer to them as poetry, as that word does not do justice to the emotion that roars & pierces through the words when read by Glenn himself. He has also composed a few tunes, one of which ("Until I'm Home")he accompanied his singing by playing on a hand held dulcimer-type instrument. As a supposedly unemotional lawyer by profession, I was moved to the core by his song, and have encouraged him to have it recorded. He told me by email a week ago he's trying to do just that. Let's hope he does. He is an incredibly gifted and beautiful person, and my wife and I are blessed to have crossed his path.

Small Update: I just called Glenn Schultz to congratulate him on publication, and he tells me "The Verser's Curse is actually now available as an ebook. I hope Dale and all forum members won't mind me mentioning that I just went to http://www.1stbooks.com, typed in Schultz as the Author, and indeed up it popped......downloaded the electronic book version from ebooks for $4.95.

Dang-- I was just IMing Glenn, and he didn't say a word about the book, although he has been working on it for years. I've seen many samples of Glenn's poetry, and have always been very moved by it. Glenn is an amazing, multi-faceted person who deserves his hard earned reputation as a master instrument maker and poet. Buy this book!

For those who haven't had a chance to hear any of Glenn's poetry, I STRONGLY recommend getting the e-book. Glenn's genius as a poet hotly rivals his abilities on the lathe...and I've not found a writer who is as candid in his verses as Glenn is. I spent 2 days with Glenn and his poetry was as great a treat as his whistlemaking instruction.
