An Interview with Dave Tabler: Author of Delaware Before the Railroads

Dave TablerTen-year-old Dave Tabler decided he was going to read the “R” volume from the family’s World Book Encyclopedia set over summer vacation. He never made it from beginning to end. He did, however, become interested in Norman Rockwell, rare-earth elements, and “Run for the Roses.”

Tabler’s father encouraged him to try his hand at taking pictures with the family camera. With visions of Rockwell dancing in his head, Tabler press-ganged his younger brother into wearing a straw hat and sitting next to a stream barefoot with a homemade fishing pole in his hand. The resulting image was terrible.

Dawn and Beyond: Embark by Gary W. Burns

Dawn and Beyond by Gary W. Burns

Poet Gary W. Burns pours out his destiny-driven heart in his latest collection, Dawn and Beyond: Embark. The majority of the pieces are short, but the language across the collection is carefully chosen and meditative. Despite their apparent simplicity, each poem can be examined with a close-read microscope, as the language often has multiple layers and potential meanings to unpack. Burns demonstrates his powerful observational eye, as well as his critical and analytic nature, without losing a palpable longing for mysticism, whimsy, and wonder. All told, this is an original and comforting selection of poetry that offers a rewarding […]
