At the same time, Christian Peacemaker Teams (with my brother as a member) sent in a small team to "wage peace" in the midst of the military show of "shock and awe." It was a time of anguish for many people, for many reasons. This was my attempt to come to terms with the upheaval of the time.Item The gold behind the paper currency: literature and the Christian college(Direction, 1995) Martens, WilfredItem Kansas memories(Fresno Pacific University, 2009) Martens, WilfredItem Living on Normal Avenue(Fresno Pacific University, 2009) Nickel, EleanorItem Mennonite(Direction, 1974) Martens, WilfredItem Morning in America(Center for Mennonite Writing, 2013-01) Nisly, HopeThis personal essay is a memoir of my time spent working at a homeless shelter in the San Francisco Bay area in the 1980s.

I will focus on three poems from the first section of Tasting the Dust: "Claiming the Dust," "In Tule Fog" and "The Mountain." In these poems Janzen's identity as a San Joaquin Valley poet and as a Mennonite/Anabaptist poet is most visibly intertwined. The experience and geography of the valley become powerful imagery for expressing theological themes from her ethno-religious tradition.
