The Teacher's Mind Travels

STORIES AND POEMS BY B.B. RIEFNER

PURCHASE THE BOOK

 Rief's book is a collection of poetry and stories grouped by themes--ranging from the author's youth, to his career as a junior and senior high school teacher, to his wife (and muse). His voice is raw and direct, no doubt formed by his domineering father, and by his experiences in combat during WWII. This book is about his search for redemption.

B.B. Riefner

B,B, Riefner wrote with chalk on blackboards; then, with a 1918 typewriter on tailgates and picnic tables in South America, Europe, and Africa. Today, he and his wife live near Washington, DC, with their canine muse and a computer — each which must be fed daily. He has been published in Iconoclast Magazine, Danse Macabre, and in Stress City.

He is also the other of several collection of short stories, including Mind Travels, The Tarnished Horseman Comes Home, Slices and Bites from the Pie, and I. M. Lawless.
