I was interpreting for deaf students
at St. Cloud State University in the 90's when I had the opportunity to take a writing class from an
instructor everyone was raving about, Bill Meissner. His name was familiar to me, but I couldn't remember why.
I hadn't realized that several years before, after hearing Bill Meissner speak on Minnesota Public Radio
about his new book at the time, "Hitting Into the Wind," I had sent him a copy of a baseball short story
of mine. He actually sent me a kindly reply, and I cherished the fact that he had taken the time to do so. When
I walked into the room on the first day of Creative Writing, it all came together. Spirits in the Grass
is Bill's newest novel and it's wonderful! |
