In the preface: "ONCE I was four years of age, I was identified as having Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a neuromuscular disease that results the progressive weakening of the skeletal muscles and finally the heart. I started out writing poetry when I was 13 years of age, shortly before I started counting on a wheelchair to get around. Dynamic Parts contains a few of the poems I've created since that time.... Dynamic Parts addresses diverse matters, including mother nature, life, fatality, leisure, and love." "Defibaugh's debut collection features stylistically and thematically diverse poems written over his 16 years in a wheelchair." (Kirkus Reviews) "...[H]is poems cover a wide selection of thoughts and experiences, both his own and those he perceives of others. Some poems are quite short, almost haiku-like, while some have stanzas and refrains and seem to be almost epic-like in their fullness." (Jack Magnus, Readers' Favorite)
