From the award winning Poet Laureate Dr. Dennis L. Siluk's new volume of poetry: "Stars over Germany" (having lived over four years in Germany, in the 1970s). Might be of interest to the reader to know: this book has been in the making for a decade. The first poem was written in 1981, the second and several thereafter in 2006, a few in: 2007, 2008, 2010; the book reedited in 2010 and 2015. The last several poems added in, 2014, and 2015: for total of 26-poems. The author's first book "The Other Door," 1981, bears the first printing of "Bavaria's Harvest" (a Sonnet of Augsburg, Germany); all other poems are unpublished, to include: "German Winter Shower," a Polirritmo poem, written in 2008; unique in its own way, is a lived poem of motion. And a number of new poems, from 2014 and 2015. There are several photographs from the 1970s, and several drawings by the author. To include a watercolor, which was done in 1980 and never before seen by the public, for the poem "Würzburg's Baroque". This is Dr. Siluk's 70th book, and 21th volume of poetry, 2017. Back cover is a photograph of the poet with his twin boys, in the Rhineland, 1974. Dr. Siluk lives with his wife in Peru, and is from Minnesota. Dr. Siluk is also a world traveler.
