This is an extraordinary tribute to Sheila, Dan. I look forward to reading Imagine a Great White Light.

Dear Dan,

My copy of Imagine a Great White Light arrived on Friday, and I’ve finished it today, Sunday. It’s amazing to me that a writer of such moving stories, with such fluid and syntactically dexterous sentences, could have so long escaped my attention. I’m richer for finding her work, and eagerly await the novel.

Thank you, too, for this tribute, which is beautiful and worthy. May Sheila find ten thousand new readers.

Thank you for writing that and for bringing Sheila back to us so vividly. I was trying to write a poem for her, but I can abandon it now because you have done the job ten times better than I ever could.

Dear Dan-
Shelia was my creative writing teacher at CSU twice. She was by far my favorite professor I have ever had. The way you describe her teaching style in this essay is so true. I was so sorry to hear about her death, she had mentioned her cancer in class and was very cavilar about it saying she was going to be fine. S
