I’ve known Bill for a few years now, and I’ve always been impressed with his energy and passion. Bill Tibbitts works as an anti-poverty advocate and community organizer, and if his name sounds familiar, look up the Crossroads Urban Center to see just what an incredible community activist he is.
Well, much to my surprise, I found out that Bill wrote a book and, from the look of it, “unique” doesn’t come close to explaining it.
*The Detective Girl *is a collection of sonnets that tell a story with the plot structure of a comic book. The book is set in an imaginary academy where young women train to be detectives. With subject matter ranging from mysticism to eccentric styles of kung fu, this book aims to please both people who routinely read contemporary poetry and people who normally avoid poetry and poems
If you’ve come across Bill over the years, you know what a deep, caring, tireless and intelligent guy he is. Consider picking a copy or ten of Bill’s book – I know I will.
