Bøker av Denny Goetz

Denny Goetz's poetry is a portrait of a man seeking answers in the face of failure, loss and mortality. While intimate and personal in detail, it is also universal in addressing the vagaries of life, love and death. He writes of the pain and heartbreak of love lost, as well as of the consolation and joy of love found. He celebrates the delights life offers us, despite the inevitability of change and an end to all things. Moving and splendidly accessible, it is poetry you may find yourself returning to again and again. Magpie is a generous gift. At too early an age, Denny Goetz experienced life's perils, personal and historic. This shaped neither a man of pessimism nor gloom, but one of decency and kindness; and though none of us is protected from sadness and illness, Denny's poems offer-up a bounty of courage, affection and tenderness. Take time with this collection, and just maybe, we all can learn to share his love. - Richard D. Pepperman, Author of "Illuminations, Memorable Movie Moments", Finalist for the 2011 Best Moving Image Book Award

Father Flanagan Laments: A Satirical NovelFather Flanagan Laments, a Rabelaisian satire of religious and sexual mores, follows the hilarious struggles of an all-too-human man of the cloth as he grapples with his inner demons and the hypocrisies of church and community. He is sustained, through all his many moral failures and struggles, by his absolute belief in a future where he sits through eternity at God's feet.Denny Goetz's writing has been compared to that of Joseph Heller, Evelyn Waugh, Lenny Bruce, and John Kennedy Toole, and it would serve readers well to approach his novel with a healthy impatience with hypocrisy, a well-developed sense of humor, and an appreciation of the contrary forces tugging at Flanagan. Father Flanagan Laments finds humor in the disparities between church teachings and social reality. Read this lampoon. You too will finally laugh.
