The latest poetry collection Lower Hanging Fruit by D Everett Newell and Doug Hodges includes poems revealing lyrical moments of perfect sweetness. The profound fertilizing force of Doug Hodges mind makes its presence felt in his poems of nature revealing 'the magic of the sun', 'river's coolness' and life 'renewed by water'. His poems are full of sharpened sensibilities peeping into the hidden recesses of mind and heart. Doug Hodges as a poet has an infallible instinct for using the proper word in his poems. Temperamentally, he is one of the greatest poets of nature. His poetic imagination is often at its peak when he reveals the undiscovered beauty in the objects of nature. Newell stands unrivalled in the history of English poetry. His poems dancing to a new day take us beneath the surface of things to quicken our sense for an exalted wisdom. His illuminating and genuine poems remind the readers about their own deepest thoughts. A new dimension has been added to English poetry by Newell s creative imagination displaying such lively images of human nature: When I least expect/ Fear takes hold , Fight at every turn, every step/ To preserve history . True poets are those who have received from God, together with the gift of expression, the power of penetrating further than others into the things of the heart and the life (Alexandre Vinet). This is quite true about the poems by D Everett Newell and Doug Hodges in the poetry collection Lower Hanging Fruit .

Author BIO

Doug Hodges

This is my second collaborated book with D Everett Newell and it has been a great pleasure and an honor. We have collaborated on a number of poems, stories and songs as well. This will be my 14th book, including our two together, and I can only say that I have been blessed with each and every opportunity to share the words, rhythms, and images God has granted me. My latest book was a poetical autobiography, as much about the decades I was passing through as it was about myself. For a more detailed view of each of my books, visit my website at

D Everett Newell
	My name is Dennis Everett Newell; I am called in no certain order, Denny, Den, Big D, D Everett, and Dennis. It’s funny, but I can usually tell by how someone calls my name, what time in my life we shared. I guess there are many layers to a life that has now spanned 61 years. My middle name, Everett, has been passed down in our family since the Civil War. My great-great-grandfather’s name was Darius Newell, who named his son Silas Everett Newell, my great-grandfather. He in turn named his son John Everett Newell, my grandfather, who then in turn named my dad, John Everett Newell Jr. My dad named me Dennis Everett Newell, and my son is Corey Everett Newell.
