I too picked up a James Krenov book one day while I was a production cabinetmaker and it changed my life. He was a poet who worked as well with wood or words and his words flowed into me like cool water into a dry lake. It changed the way I looked at, felt, smelled and worked with wood. I never met him, but drove by the College many times when I was living on the West Coast.

He inspired this:

"So few of us can say
we have obtained
the blood that runs
in a craftsman's vein."
