Announcing a new work of original poetry by Linda C. Welsh

Here

Here, cool keyboard carrying worlds.

Here, buckwheat pillow—a stone.

Here, pressure where tears build.

Here, light wool shawl in deep blue.

Here, praise, reverencarium.

Here, time in parentheses.

Here, still today—not always.

Here, nothing serious.

“Raw, elegiac, and at times achingly dreamlike, Welsh juxtaposes the tragedy and heartache of a beloved’s slow-drip disappearance with the absurdities and humor of everyday moments.”
—Cathy Scribner, M.Div. (Yale Divinity School), Hospice Chaplain

“Anyone who has ever loved and suffered will find themselves reflected in these radiant pages.”
—Colette G. Kirchhoff, MD, FAAFP, Board Certified Family Physician & Hospice and Palliative Physician

“These poems offer a necessary lament, glimmers of hope, and a powerful call to reimagine a more sustainable future.”
—Thomas J. Elpel

“A taut, well-written tale of the tragic, innocent victims of technological advancement.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Robert Wilson’s energetic, funny, sad, extremely relatable book about transitioning into adulthood is played against the serious backdrop of Vietnam and its aftereffects.” —Ann Beattie

“Groovy, Man is a refreshing take on the countercultural memoir. From drug-dealing to Greenpeace activism to multiple marriages and divorces, Tussman offers a warts-and-all look at his relationships and life choices. It’s an absorbing story, amusing, poignant, and full of insight into the joys and tribulations of the sixties generation in California.”
—Frank Zelko, author of Make It a Green Peace

“David Tussman was on the scene when the Free Speech Movement erupted out of the San Francisco Bay area and not long after when Greenpeace eco-freaks were confronting Russian whalers on the high seas. In Groovy, Man Tussman offers telling glimpses behind the scenes of the intrigue and dalliances of would-be rabble-rousing warriors.”
—Jon Hinck is a lawyer in private practice and the former Campaign Director for Greenpeace International
