INSPIRATION

About the Book

I once asked Dennis, what were his favorite movies? He said,” Those that made me feel better when I’m leaving than when I came in.” When asked about his two favorite places, he said, “A road that I have never traveled and my children’s 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.

About the Author

Dennis Maxwell is a freelance writer and poet. Raised in the south, he now resides in Atlanta, Georgia where long walks in the beautiful parks of Lake Lanier help inspire his writing, while his membership in the Atlanta’s Writers Group and The Poet’s Society, provide the fellowship for kindred spirits. Even as a business owner and engineer, Dennis always attributed his ability as a poet and writer to his unbelievable life experiences. Sometimes harsh and cruel and sometimes as sweet as the honeysuckle that grew beside the cotton fields of his aunt’s house, where as a child, he was raised in the small town of Amory, Mississippi. The trials and tribulations of his life forged his character and planted the seeds of inspiration, hopefully to grow in the fertile soil of experience.
