  • Culture Wars and Walt Whitman

    Culture Wars and Walt Whitman

    Walt Whitman remains America’s greatest poet of healing. His close-up witness to the tragedy of the Civil War, coupled with his robust faith in the American creed led to his majestic and compassionate poetry.

  • Check out my Royal Enfield with this day travel bag for motorcycle or bicycle

    I’m convinced of a product’s worthiness when I see comparisons between two or more with similar features. I’ve been in the market for a day bag to mount on my Royal Enfield Bullet 500. There are lots of bags out there, but they never appealed to me. I hadn’t found one that met my needs…

    The Hallways of Menomonie High School   

    Drumming, an uncivilizing reverberation The hallways of Menomonie High School were another kind of boundary. I was young and my ears were alive. I heard everything and counted on one hand the times anyone ever said anything important to me. I stepped as drummers’ step, with attitude. Nobody ever bothered me. At 17, when Colt…
