A Satisfied Reader






I recently became Facebook "Friends" with Red Shuttleworth, a poet and playwright from the state of Washington.  We ended up exchanging books - he sent me a book of his poetry and I sent him  Laying Track.  Following is his reaction to my collection of essays.  

Red Shuttleworth
Real excited to receive Lynn Bueling's LAYING TRACK AND OTHER PERSONAL ESSAYS. The newspaper essay and the book (more than review) essay are both slowly disappearing. Hurrah for essayists and for the newspapers that still publish them. Hurrah for essayists like Lynn Buelingwho, among other things, keep alive the memory of great regional pugilists, like North Dakota's Charley Retzlaff who gamely (abrupt, sudden loss) fought Joe Louis. Thank you, Lynn Bueling!
