                       IN HONOR OF JACK KASHUBECK

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 16, 2005

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
Mr. Jack Kashubeck, U.S. Veteran, internationally known author, poet, 
artist and lecturer, whose inspiring work rises beyond the borders of 
Cleveland, bridging our community with the great poets, writers and 
artists throughout the world.
  His extensive body of work reflects a personal passage of 
exploration, a journey of experience, as he explores the cultures, 
history and people of distant lands. Mr. Kashubeck's introspective and 
poignant observations serve to highlight the human spirit, revealing 
the common elements of humanity that connect every one of us.
  From Egypt, to South America, to Cleveland, Mr. Kashubeck's poetry 
and prose reflects upon the confining boundaries and soaring 
possibilities dually inherent within the human condition, offering us 
an introspective look back, and a hopeful vision rising on the horizon.
  Mr. Speaker and Colleagues, please join me in honor and recognition 
of Jack Kashubeck, whose evolving life's work reflects the core of our 
existence--the tragedy and the triumph. The heart and soul of any 
society is held aloft by the artists who flourish within it, and the 
poetic works of Jack Kashubeck, words that pierce the darkness and 
carry critical social issues into the rational light of day, serve to 
elevate the Cleveland community, and far beyond.
