The Poetry of Life
Saving Singletrees is a sharing of things remembered and things we wish we'd saved. Leo has shared things and people remembered through his poetry of life, with simple verses that will bring a smile on your face. These simple verses will also bring back memories of a different time in our life. Thanks Leo for sharing these memories and thank you Wendy for this early Father's Day present.

Dear Mr. Dangel
I guess I've been thinking I would write a letter to you for 3 years now -- it was in 2015 that I sent an email to try to find out your email address. But I never got around to it -- it seems a daunting task. I've only written one fan letter in my life, to Jimmy Stewart just before he died, and I never sent it. I don't think I intended to send it, actually -- I was waiting for my son to be born and didn't know what else to do.
Basically, I just want to tell you that you are my favorite living poet. Not that there is some great honor in that, but it is something -- and my kids have enjoyed the poems I've read them, especially my oldest son, Robin, who will graduate from college in a month or so.
I suppose I could introduce myself, etc., but I feel a sense that this is all I should write.
I hope this mail finds you well, or, at least, finds you!
Robert.
p.s. Just finished reading Saving Singletrees. It started a bit slow, but then the number of real gems picked up the pace and I thought it was as good as any others you've written.
p.p.s. No, I haven't read all of your poems. But then, I haven't read everything by Pablo Neruda either, and he's my favorite poet, living or dead.

I wanted to read something I could hardly relate to. I did not grow up on a farm, in the south, or religious. But the work of great writers is to connect the supple parts of their experience to every reader. I think Dangel has done a fine job indeed.
