“Retired professor of Microbiology, Harry Gilleland certainly

has a variety of experiences and thought-provoking insights

to share in his latest poetry book, Gilleland Poetry

Storoems and Poems. Harrys poetry has appeared at

numerous establishments over the years and he has

authored three books to date. His dedication to and love of

poetry is evident in the way that he writes his work.

Evocative and mentally stimulating throughout its 205

pages this book is sure to strike a cord within any reader.

War experiences and trials of man are mingled with true-life

experiences, fantasy, love and nature.

Harry explores the wonders of nature in a beautiful way and

returns to the theme that seemingly runs throughout the

entire book - what it could mean for man. Fun, playful

sometimes sad. He has us riding the rapids with him one

moment and learning shocking news about American

history in the next breath.

Bluebird Rescue and You Snake in the Grass were two of

my favorites because they invoke awe of nature. But I also

got a real kick out of The Power of Splinters and One Leafs

Journey, which are clearly parallels to life experiences.

I really cried over A Journey Home and Alfred Must Die. The

authors deep endearing love for his wife is both moving

and inspiring.

Though this might sound a little corny - I felt I lived a little

more because of reading this book.”
