Keith Dittrich Libros

Maybe It was the food always on the table, Or the green sprigs of spring … Keith Dittrich knows that we all seek. We all find and experience. We all hope for the best and fear the worst. We grow and grow up. We love and dream. We watch the failures in our world with horror. And through it all, we stand in the presence of the word that nourishes the senses, momentarily satisfies a longing, and expands our inner dimension. In a diverse collection of verse, Dittrich uses sweeping images of the beautiful Nebraska landscape to explore relationships, emotions, and the passage of time. From the dark and shadowy dream that emerges from a fitful sleep after a day working the farm to a line that offers hope for renewal, Dittrich leads others on a journey through his heart and mind as he contemplates life’s simplest and most significant moments. Plums on the Wall is a collection of moving poetry that reflect on a Nebraska farmer’s experiences and the beauty around him.

The Greatest Ace is a love story of a dog, a farm, and a man who owned both, as told by Ace, a small Shepherd dog with big ideas. From the levelling dust of the 1930's, to the fettering farm bills of modern politics, follow the fight to save a Nebraskan farm, and, ultimately, to save a life.
