Just who is Kenneth Weene anyway?
Life itches and torments Kenneth Weene like pesky flies. Annoyed, he
picks up a pile of paper to slap at the buzzing and often whacks himself on the
head. Each whack is another story. At least having half-blinded himself, he has
learned to not wave the pencil about. Ken will, however, write on until
the last gray cell has retreated and there are no longer these strange ideas
demanding his feeble efforts. So many poems, stories, novels; and more to
come.
So far Ken has two novels published by All Things That
Matter Press and a third will be out soon.
The first is Widow’s
Walk, the story of a woman restarting her life and her two adult children. Widow’s Walk is a tale of love,
sexuality, religion, and spirit. A box of Kleenex is an essential accessory
when reading this emotional and meaningful novel.
Memoirs
From the Asylum is set in a state psychiatric hospital. Full of tragedy,
humor, and pathos, Memoirs reminds us
that there are many forms of asylums and that it is all to easy to give up the
most essential human freedom, the freedom to choose who we are. More than
anything, Memoirs From the Asylum is
a book for people who love words; it is a book that asks to be read aloud.
Coming soon is Tales
From the Dew Drop Inne: Because there’s one in every town. The folks who
hang out at this neighborhood bar are struggling to know that they too belong.
This is a book of intersecting stories that illustrate the humanity of us all
and our search for a place in which to belong.
Trained as a psychologist and an ordained minister, Ken
knows that the human heart is the most elemental place to begin any story.
Having also written a good amount of poetry, he strives to make the language of
his books unique. Ken also brings the clear-eyed realism of a born and bred New
Englander to his writing. The overall results are books that are especially
moving and well-written.
