Landis liked school and favored the teachers who assigned writing and directed poetry clubs. His own English teaching career spanned fifty years. He is an alumnus of Eastern Mennonite College and holds a master’s
degree from Case Western Reserve University and a doctor’s degree
from Idaho State University. Retired in Harrisonburg, Virginia, he and his wife Peggy have two daughters and three grandchildren. For relaxation he shares the roses from his garden.
A gathering of poems written over Landis’s teaching life, Verse Assignments reflects themes that include classroom quotidian routine, daily family, community, and faith experience, as well as response
to requests about celebratory occasions and the achievements of colleagues. Landis finds much to respect in the deeds of love that surround us and how the meaning of life can be enhanced when it is
expressed in the sound and rhythm of verse.view less
