Last Fall (2017) Steve Lautermilch informed me that two of his works of poetry were published in the Spring/Summer 2017 issue of The Comstock Review. They are titled "Carboniferous" and "Rhymes of the Way."
Steve has been writing and reading his poetry for many years now. Last Thanksgiving he sent to Chris and me one of his printed poems on the back of which he wrote, "May the season to come and the new year be rich with thanks and joy." Living on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, his soul is nurtured by the loving sun and the frolicking ocean waters. He gifts us all.
The Comstock Review is a publication of distinction. Beginning as a workshop for local poets when the Comstock Writers' Group was incorporated in 1986, it has become a very respected journal for poetry in the United States. As articulated on its website, The Comstock Review continues "...to host the best work from poets throughout the English-speaking world.
"
We congratulate Steve on this recognition and we thank him for his poetry. We are proud that he is a member of our Joss Class of 1968.
WELCOME to this blog for the JOSS Class of 1968. This blog is for us, members of this class. It celebrates all of us, all that we are individually and as a group, and honors those who have died. Each one of us is uniquely graced and gifted.
Most of us first came together in 1956 at a little-known place in Central Ohio. Others arrived later. Whether we left the Josephinum before ordination or were ordained in 1968, we all followed uniquely individual calls.
We have journeyed through significant historical times - "Camelot", Vatican II, the Vietnam War, exploration of space, the civil rights movement, advances in communication technology, sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, growth in and loss of relationships, terrorism, medical/surgical breakthroughs, "Arab Spring", and much more.
The vision for this blog is to connect anew, share our stories, support one another.
Greetings! Jump on board! Peace and Shalom!
