“I started to write poetry seriouslyabout 1975,” Dangel said. “When I wasin college, I took a fiction writingcourse and at first I thought I wantedto write fiction, but after I startedteaching and got to Marshall, I justfound I was better suited to writing po-etry.”

“I just write poems,” he said. “(For)‘Saving Singletrees,’ I started to writethe poems shortly after I came to thenursing home. I just wrote poems forabout three years and decided I had abook.”

“Saving Singletrees” was published in2013 and covers a number of topicsranging from growing up in rural SouthDakota to observations of living in acare center.

Other works by Dangel include “OldMan Brunner County” (1987), “Hogs andPersonals” (1992), “Home from theField: Collected Poems” (1997), “TheCrow on the Golden Arches” (2004) andthe chapbook “Keeping Between theFences” (1981).
