In “Writings On The Wall,” contemporary poet Hensel takes us on a journey filled with expressions of hope, peace, love and war. Every poem and quotation, throughout the book, is sure to leave you inspired and wanting more.
“Are you ready for something weird yet incredibly awesome? I hold the official world record (Guinness & Riply’s) for the longest nonstop wheelie in a wheelchair, covering a total distance of 6.178 miles,” Hensel said. “It just goes to show that people with disabilities can achieve anything they want to. We just have to go about it a little differently than our able-bodied friends. We truly know what hope and opportunity means, which is why I’ve spent so many years perfecting my writing with a bold vehicle to change lives through the simple construction of words.”
“I’ve reached a unique platform that gives me both the honor and responsibility of being a role model for those with physical limitations and, coupled with humanity-at-large currently facing fierce discord, there has never been a better time for us to empower people to strive for a more positive mindset,” he continued. “My gift to humanity is to plant the seed and inspiration of hope, through unique verse.”

Hensel is a leading figure within the disability community, advocating for the treatment and rights of all individuals living with disabilities across the globe.
In 2000, realizing the need to focus more on one’s abilities and less on their disabilities, Hensel sought to have a week designated that would bring to light the many talents and accomplishments being made by individuals with disabilities.
Due to his efforts, Oswego County passed a resolution recognizing Oct. 1-7 as Beyond Limitations Week.

Hensel is also a Guinness & Ripley’s world record holder for the longest nonstop wheelie in a wheelchair, covering a total distance of 6.178 miles. The reason for his record was to help raise money for wheelchair ramps throughout his community.
