About this title

Review:

Any college-level student of James Dickey will find this essential to any in-depth study of the author: scholars and writers contribute essays on a variety of topics; from Dickey's early influences and literary development to his critical comparison with other poets. Two new interviews, one with Dickey himself, enhances this collection of reviews, essays and analyses. -- Midwest Book Review
