Danton Abicht, an ardent fan of this old poet, spent a considerable amount of time and effort acquiring many of these poems. Danton expresses his reflection and the effects that the poem holds from people he's encountered during his search: "the poem has a certain magic to some people - me included, he writes....maybe you'll see that magic too. I'm hoping that the poems and the recognition of this poet and author won't be lost to the world."
