Poet FREDRICK ZYDEK has published more than eight hundred poems. He divides his time between his home in Omaha and a country place in Brunswick. After having taught for several years, first at the University of Nebraska—Omaha, and later at the College of Saint Mary, he now writes full time. He is also editor of Lone Willow Press. He is recipient of The Hart Crane Poetry Award and the Sarah Foley O'Loughlen Literary Award. Among his recent books are This is Not a Poem (Pudding House), Tacopachuk: The Buckley Poems (Winthrop Press), Dreaming on the Other Side of Time (Holmes House Publications), and Stumbling Through the Stars (Holmes House Publications, 2004). He is also the author of The Abbey Poems (1994), Ending the Fast (1984), and other books. One of his poems, "Mary in the Abbey Garden," was selected to represent the 20th century in Augustana College's Marian Millennial celebration. He has been making retreats and visiting Conception Abbey, a Benedictine monastery and seminary in Northeast Missouri, since 1956 and says, "It continues to be one of those places on the planet that energizes my spirit and clears my vision."
