This is Dr. Dennis L. Siluk's 78th International Book, "Poems and Portraits," which contains thirty-five poems, two short narrations on holy people, and an article, plus ten additional poems from the Chapbook "The Mediator (The Son of Man)". The book is divided in seven parts which include: Part One: Eleven Christian related poems; Part Two: Fourteen Theological Philosophes; Part Three: Six Law Poems; Part Four: Four poetic prose poems; Part Five: An Interpretation of the pre-flood days in poetic prose: Part Six: Two short narrations on holy people and an article (in English and Spanish), and Part Seven: It is a bonus which includes ten poems from the Chapbook "The Mediator (The Son of Man)" not released yet. The poetry of Dr. Siluk is pretty understandable, but, additionally he adds notes in most of his poems for more information on them. Dr. Dennis L. Siluk is a poet (since age twelve), a writer, Psychologist, Ordained Minister, Decorated Veteran from the Vietnam War, Doctor in Arts and Education. In addition, he received twice Honorary Doctorate, and was appointed Poet Laureate in Peru, nine times. One of his books, "The Galilean," took Honorable Mention at the 2016 Paris Book Festival, and received an award from the Congress of Peru, for his cultural writings. He is originally from St. Paul, Minnesota, and lives with his wife Rosa, in Lima, Peru and High up in the Andes, in Huancayo, also, in Minnesota.

Here is the fourth book (a Tetralogy) of Dr. Siluk's autobiography short stories (in English and Spanish), whether in the traditional form of the short story, poetic prose, biography, each story is a piece of history and complete within itself. He does not hold back from the drunk, to the miscellaneous workers of everyday life. Furthermore, and perhaps more so in this book than his previous three, he tells the stories of many of his travels, with humor, realism, some may think even fantasy, but most of all with love for the different people he has met on his journeys. He has put this fourth book into the same category of his previous trilogy: "In My Time," and "Men among Men," also "Times and Seasons," now to make it a tetralogy, comes "A Way You Have to Be," consisting of eighteen short stories, some more like sketches. Again, Dr. Siluk uses his penname or pseudonym, Chick Evens, as he has in his previous trilogy. Within this book you will visit Minnesota, Amsterdam, Germany, Luxemburg, France, Alabama, Vietnam, Mexico, and Peru. The time period starts in 1954, and ends in 2015.This being his 59th International Book, along with 48-chapbooks. At present two of his books are becoming unobtainable, "The Other Door..." and "The Last Trumpet..." out of print for many years that demand large prices, they have become collectables, and classics.Dr. Dennis L.

This book, "The Nazarene," its subtitle: "Poems for: The Son of Man," is the sequel to Dr. Siluk's previous book: "The Galilean" with its subtitle: "Poems for the Soul." From per near over ninety-sources, in a thirty-month period-and over 3200-hours-, the author brings to life, the ancient sacred scriptures, in a most profound historical melodramatic way; in poetic prose canto; to be read and reread. "The Nazarene" as the previous volume "The Galilean" is a collection of Christian poetry, that will help you better understand Christianity. They are poems on Jesus Christ, Who is the Messiah and the incarnation of God, who came to teach, suffer and died for the sins of all people, so we too, who believe in Him, could have eternal life with him, because He rose from the dead; and also poems dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the apostles, the holy women that followed Jesus during his ministry, Adam, Salvation, Judgment, etc. These are unpublished poems, from the five original chapbooks published separately in 2012 and 2013, here for the first time available in book form in this new volume for the bottomless reader. Never before seen by the public, with the addition of the new section of poems (from 2015), that would perhaps have been part of the "The Galilean," had the author continued with the series. This book includes 63 poems, illustrated and bilingual: in English and Spanish. Both books have their own soul, which will live long after the poet laureate has gone to meet his Maker.

The novelette, "Susanna of Bethsaida" is a wondrous short novelette, now in English and Spanish, of a Saint, a woman contemporary with Mary from Magdala, both whom walked with Christ, being one of the several female companions to the apostles, whom both discovered their destiny. Drawing on the Gospels of the New Testament, sources from the Vatican library, and other resources, we see Jesus Christ and his entourage, as they follow Him heart, mind and soul, on his journey. In the form of a monologue, Susanna tells the reader her story, her awareness to Christianity's early years and its history changing events, surrounded by a pagan world and martyrs such as John the Baptist, as this new faith emerges. Susanna, seldom written about, and surely never in a novel or novelette, to my knowledge, here for the first time one may actually visualize the holy women that followed our Lord in the First Century A.D. For the most part, Susanna is the hidden jewel; brought out to sparkle with Mary called Magdalene, Salome, and Joanna. Dr. Siluk and his wife Rosa visited Israel in 2010 A.D., included many of the places-to include Caesarea-where Jesus Christ journeyed followed by his apostles and Susanna and the other holy women.

From the award winning Poet Laureate Dr. Dennis L. Siluk's new volume of poetry: "Stars over Germany" (having lived over four years in Germany, in the 1970s). Might be of interest to the reader to know: this book has been in the making for a decade. The first poem was written in 1981, the second and several thereafter in 2006, a few in: 2007, 2008, 2010; the book reedited in 2010 and 2015. The last several poems added in, 2014, and 2015: for total of 26-poems. The author's first book "The Other Door," 1981, bears the first printing of "Bavaria's Harvest" (a Sonnet of Augsburg, Germany); all other poems are unpublished, to include: "German Winter Shower," a Polirritmo poem, written in 2008; unique in its own way, is a lived poem of motion. And a number of new poems, from 2014 and 2015. There are several photographs from the 1970s, and several drawings by the author. To include a watercolor, which was done in 1980 and never before seen by the public, for the poem "W rzburg's Baroque". This is Dr. Siluk's 70th book, and 21th volume of poetry, 2017. Back cover is a photograph of the poet with his twin boys, in the Rhineland, 1974. Dr. Siluk lives with his wife in Peru, and is from Minnesota. Dr. Siluk is also a world traveler.

With the poetic skill of Cesar Vallejo, and handiness of Ricardo Palma, Siluk produces a Peruvian background in a most favorable way. His vantage point, like the poet Par Lagerkvist, is rich with humanism. The author says that some poetry comes from our imagination and passion, like dreams that need daylight for them to be opened up.
