on poetry to support his observations and open-ended conclusions, he nonetheless provides an intelligent, coherent and reassuringly moving take on "what man has made of man," the phrase, BTW, William Wordsworth (1770-1850) inked in "Lines Written in Early Spring," making of Moritz's meditation one rewarding read worth the time it will take you to park your browser and view its bounty online.

Throughout this post, you will hear person-to-personally from but a small fraction of the writers and artists who call the award-winning poet, editor, photographer, humanitarian, baseballogist, publisher, husband, father of five (with Donna Gervais), business partner (with Brian Fox) and stalwart Catholic grandpa their literary saviour, in the finest and firmest secular sense of that word, myself included.

This story, then, one I am privileged to relate to you, Dear IOW Readers, is as much about this utterly incredible small press (that, to date, boasts nearly 500 titles in its past and current catalogues), as it is about the fact it continues to exist and make such a difference in the lives of so very many readers and writers.
