W. Joseph Lutz started writing back in college, then stopped for a few decades and in the past few years started up again (better stuff now). In addition to being a poet, he is an actor, a hiker, a stamp collector, and a member of the Wisconsin Fellowship of poets. W. Joseph Lutz's poetry has a great variety of styles and subject matter. One theme that is frequently found is that of boundaries and limitations. These are treated sometimes with laughter and sometimes with a great sense of loss and sorrow. It is, of course, a facet of the human condition that everyone can understand. The stories vary greatly, from a lapsed academic searching for the holy grail to a high school baseball pitcher who gets injured and has to give up his dream of a sports career to a small-town alcoholic who can only find solace from the stifling confines of his too organized life by indulging in a late night tipple. There is optimism and joy as well. His answer to the long wait for help is expressed in two words--""it comes."" It will come. It always does come, not always in the way we expect, but undeniably ""it comes."
After the guest, there will be a poetry open mic.
Come for the poetry, stay for the beer. Or the other way around. It's a win-win!
