Doyle Spence, poet/author, Shades of Conscience and Poems My Father Never Read
"Opportunity is fleeting and hard to recognize, but occasionally it knocks! When Voices of Michigan placed a call for submissions, a fine and varied group of writers answered. Get ready to have imagination tweaked! Poets and story tellers have done well in the collection: their love of words and life, their affinity for Michigan and country, comes shining through like stars in a clear night sky."
