Thank you for supporting this partnership! \nEvent Facebook Page \nAbout our featured writer:\nRobert J. Dreesen is a publisher of scholarly books in New York City\, where he has lived for the past thirty years. He is the author of 20th Century Tool Shed\, a poetry collection. Dreesen returns to Nebraska every fall for an annual trip up the Missouri River with his brothers-in-bottle called “I Ain’t Lewis and You Ain’t Clark.” \n“The poems in Robert Dreesen’s I Don’t Smoke Enough to Quit may be set in a truck stop bar but its ‘cricks’ are deep\, concealing the poet’s family’s loving reticence—‘for anything declared might be taken away’—with raucous living. Dreesen\, for whom two pianos in the room resembled ‘two horses in the pasture resting heads on one another’s rumps\,’ carries this blank verse tribute to his father from ‘engine whisperers’ to ‘a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.’ I Don’t Smoke Enough to Quit tells a sad\, sure story with a wallop of an ending.”—Terese Svoboda\, author of Black Glasses Like Clark Kent \n\nThis program and others like this would not be possible without your financial help for which\, as always\, Pat Conroy Literary Center gratefully thanks you.
