A Living Art

Story-telling through poetry is as old as History and as contemporary as Bruce Springsteen. Words form images of pirates, vigilantes, the longing of a child for his Father and Egyptian tombs with the glitter of gold and the reader is taken along on these tales within verse by David Shoemaker. David's attention to historical aspects and ability to blend narrative content into his writings gives the reader a unique perspective with plot twists added for thought-provoking enjoyment. David's knack for words that engage and create poems, short stories, and informative writing will, hopefully, be the first of many, many books. -- Greg Wright, President, Arden Writers Guild
