"Confer writes from the heart and doesn't spare the arrows aimed at piercing any government or individual tendency toward violence, be it personal or national. He also writes from a basis of credibility, having worked as a carpenter, volunteer in an African village, teacher, civil rights lobbyist for the Quakers and organizer of work camps for many hundreds of youth, including some to rebuild arson-burnt black churches. His poetry is not the smooth, varnished style of many established poets; Confer's poetry is rougher, less finished, but with the sturdiness and strength of fresh-hewn oak. " Robert Maxwell Press, Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Southern Mississippi. "At long last we have found time to journey through both of your books of poetry.We have found a new level of inspiration, the vision that is specially yours. We join you in the stand against war and rejoice at your commitment to the rebuilding of churches that have been burned!" Herb Dimock, Author of "Yeshua, the Early Years" and "Yeshua and the Intimate God." "Thanks for your response, Harold, and for sharing your poem on Martin Luther King. It brings back that sad time, and this sad time. Pat Schneider, author, "Writing Alone and With Others," Oxford University Press; Founder: Amherst Writers & Artists
