features topics of nature, religion, and memories. Joseph Shenk Hertzlers
insights into and perspective on everyday occurrences are a clear statement of
his beliefs and faith.
Joseph's deep
religious and spiritual convictions of his Mennonite heritage and pacifism
radiate from his poetry. Many of his poems contain imagery that highlights his
love of gardening and passion for birds.
Poetry
summoned Joseph to write. His eloquence in combining words to describe and tell
a story was put to use for many years writing sermons, entertaining friends and
family. Poetry gave him freedom to explain his surroundings, experiences and
learnings. During winter months when gardening was put on hold, writing poetry
allowed him an outlet that tantalized and challenged his mind.
The tradition
of Southern storytelling shines through in the Collective Memories and
Remembrances sections. His boyhood along the Warwick River in Virginia and in
central Florida provide material for amusing tales.
Josephs
poetry illuminates life in its many facets, including death. Illuminations overflows
with his humor, wisdom and incredible insight into the world we all share and
together call home.
The author,
Joseph Shenk Hertzler, utilized his writing abilities by writing sermons while
pastoring in Virginia, Iowa and working at the Associated Mennonite Biblical
Seminary (AMBS) in Indiana. Over the years he used his creativity in many art
forms including oil painting, gardening, landscaping, sculpture (see front
cover), raising many birds including exotic pigeons and peace doves. He
participates in a poetry group, affectionately called Dead Poet Society. Joseph
is an ordained pastor with his M.Div. He worked at AMBS as vice-president of
development for 26 years and is currently retired.

of six children, spent his childhood in Newport News, Virginia and central
