Warrior Poet Prose

        “Hello, this is your planet talking. I know you don’t pay much attention to me, but i think it’s time you listen up. I’m not just a backdrop for your concerns, a stage to play your dramas on, or your comedies. See, i think you’re funny, a lot of the time. I’ll almost miss you when you go; but not really, no, not the way you’ve been behaving.

You think you’re kings–well, so did T Rex and the rest of the dinosaurs; so did the trilobites. One king steps up, gets powerful, runs things for a while–or thinks he does, anyway. meanwhile my machinery keeps cranking along as I keep dancing around the sun and we both keep whirling around the galaxy.

Your problem is, you don’t think long enough–you should try it sometime, it’ll give you a healthier perspective. Bye now, I’ve wasted enough time talking to you–i probably could’ve saved my breath; you won’t listen, anyway.”

Dennis Fritzinger co-founded the Warrior Poets Society in 1992 and went on to edit Earth First! Campfire Poems with Karen Coulter and Dwight Metzger, as well as publish a book of poems Branded With Desire with co-author Karen Coulter.

In addition Dennis is an author of two books, Tame Wilderness and Earth National Park, and currently serves as editor for Armed With Visions, the Earth First! Journal’s poetry page.

Dennis enjoys hiking, camping, writing, reading, and fighting for all that is wild. The wilderness is in his blood, and growing up in a military family has made him an indefatigable fighter for endangered species, ecosystems, and the rest of wild nature.

A born editor, he considers it his mission to empower other warrior poets by publishing them wherever and whenever possible. He sums up his philosophy with two words: “Earth First!”
