Darrell Sifford was a rarity in American journalism: a columnist with the heart of a poet. Four times a week for The Philadelphia Inquirer and dozens of newspapers across the country, Sifford crafted revealing, highly personal columns that struck so powerful a chord in his readers that his accidental death in 1992 hit thousands of them as if they had lost a close relative. Marriage, career crises, child-rearing -- all were topics Sifford addressed with profound sensitivity and insight. His ability to highlight the extraordinary in the ordinary and his ear for the well-turned phrase earned him admirers wherever his column appeared. More Darrell Sifford is a compilation of some of his best work. A companion volume to the successful What Do You Think?, More Darrell Sifford will please Sifford's devoted readers as well as serve as an enjoyable introduction to a master essayist writing at the top of his form.
