Inspired by spiritual means, he noted that the book includes his many feelings, sensibilities, emotions and inspirations within its contents. Drawn to poetic expression, he also authored the 2018 book The Past Alive in the Living Wonders of Poetic Vision: The Voices of Tennyson's Poetry, which is an overview of faith convictions in the body and poetic soul of Tennyson's major poetry. Recognizing in the person and life of his wife a story of life's strong fulfillment overmounting a childhood and youth of terrible tribulations, they together have published a dramatic biography: Edna's Story: Up Out of the Ashes of Anguish, 2019.
Dr. Workman was the former president of the Alabama Creative Writers Conclave in Birmingham between 1969 and 1971.
