Near Death/Near Life

Dennis Maulsby ’64 published his third book of poetry, Near Death/Near Life, through Prolific Press. The book strikes a meaningful and tender balance between the appreciation of life’s poignant memories and the human experience of war, both as a construct and a memory. He also wrote “Little Inca Sister” in Crossing Lines, the latest anthology of the Main Street Rag Publishing Co., February 2015. Maulsby’s poem depicts an Inca ice maiden, a sacrificed bride of the Andes Mountains still waiting after 500 years on her frozen perch at 20,000 feet for the world to complete its predestined cycles.
