I really enjoyed Dean's approach to poetry and to teaching. He was a lot of fun and very passionate about exploring the boundaries of what poetry could do for the human spirit. I'll be seeing him again next month at the AWP Conference in Atlanta and look forward to it greatly. If you don't mind I'll copy what you wrote and give it to him. I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it. What a great story. I really enjoyed Dean’s approach to poetry and to teaching.

Each of the five members of the group was assigned to write a short story based on the same characters. We were all at a loss, except for Dean, who not only created the characters (Ajax and Edsoth), but drew them too, and thought up the main story concept (about an interplanetary traveler looking for a magical herb). It was obvious he was tuned to his muse early and even then was light years ahead of the rest of us.
