Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
It is sad that we live only to die, but it is even sadder to die without ever truly lived.
Background
Information
When I was in third or fourth grade, one of my friends knew that I liked to write stories. He got the idea to go around asking the other kids if they wanted a story and what they wanted it about. Some of them wanted a story about horses, and some about Batman etc. My friend would then bring me a list of the stories that the kids were looking for and I would write them. He was my "agent". We were charging the kids fifteen cents for one page, and twenty-five cents for two. I made ten cents for one page and fifteen cents for the latter. It was a prosperous year for us. I have always enjoyed writing as sort of a past-time, a hobby. My wife kept telling me that all of my works were piling up, and I needed to do something with them. So, I began to look for a publisher. Luckily, I found one that took a chance.
Accomplishments
Two Editor's Choice Awards and nomination for Poet of the Year.
