Marty Sherman:We sent the first batch off to the publisher three weeks ago and volume one will be out this spring. Dirk's still writing like a madman, though, and I'm getting very little sleep. I'm exhausted.
M. Alan Pennywhistle:
I still miss him. I hear that advance orders on the book are through the roof.
Marty Sherman:
Dirk has expressed to me that he wants to come out with a second volume by Christmas. That one will include the photos. He also told me that unlike here on earth, there's an endless supply of Polaroid film in Heaven.
More previews from the upcoming posthumously-written volume of Prof. Dirk Beat's poetry, 'Poems From The Other Side':
The Noose
Oddly warm around my neck
It soothes my soul with sweet respect
The chair below smiles up at me
Then leaps aside to set me free
Something Else, Man
What's a fire without the burn?
What's a road without a turn?
What's a nude without the pink?
What's a skunk without his stink?
What's a book without the pages?
What's my anger without the rages?
What's a garden without the weeds?
What's that jam without its seeds?
Jelly
-Prof. Dirk Beat
