(ePrintWire.Org) – Poet Gregory J. Stang offers poems that are personal, positive and passionate in his first volume of poetry, Lifelines, published by Outskirts Press. His hope is to inspire his readers to pursue strong, lifelong relationships, to take assertive actions when faced with adversity, and to develop strong relationships with God.
Stang uses his three decades of experience as a high school English teacher to craft the predominantly free verse of Lifelines, Empowering You to Happiness, Success and Salvation. This, coupled with his long work as a Eucharistic Minister, infuses his carefully measured lines with a positive and inspirational tone not always found in today’s literature.
Stang also has spent thirty-five years of his life coaching cross country and indoor and outdoor track teams and he frequently uses a sports metaphor, as in “Ode to a Spartan Runner,” to convey his message of living a fruitful and rewarding life.
Accomplished Buffalo, NY, poet, Richard Olson, has written a thoughtful introduction to Lifelines, and the photography of Bill Wende and Nate Chertack as well as the color illustrations of Jeff Perdziak nicely augment the value of this volume of forty-eight poems.
Lifelines is available on-line in paperback through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks for a maximum trade discount in quantities of ten or more. It has been written as a particularly appropriate work for school teachers, social workers and librarians and for the audiences of Catholic and Christian bookstores.
