From Outreach N.C. magazine
By Ann Robson
Bill Lindau proves himself to be a very capable writer in several genres: poetry, short story and novella. This collection of selected works provides interesting reading but is not specific to the Sandhills.
Lindau's topics cover subjects that could happen in many other places. He has lived in North Carolina (sic--actually, I moved to the Sandhills when I was almost 14) since he was 14 and has had many works in various regional publications.
He opens with with a series of poems that give a mournful picture of lost love. He trolls the depth of human emotion and takes the reader along with him. His "To a Deceased Friend" consists of only four lines but offers a powerful message:
"Lovely you looked the day you said goodbye
Before gray hair and sallow skin set in
No matter how often the sun rides across the sky
I always remember your loveliness my dear."
Lindau uses very little punctuation in his poetry, thus allowing the reader to pause in differing spots. What he lacks in punctuation, he makes up for in his use of meaningful words.
Animal lovers will enjoy his short story about Pug, the town dog. He also writes about his love of horses.
His tribute to his mother, "The First Woman of My Life," two cwould make any mother proud. He articulates the bond between mother and child superbly and gives sincere thanks for that woman.
