While this is not, perhaps, entirely unexpected and may be indicative of the pressures on their time rather than an intrinsic aversion to literature, it should nevertheless at least lead us to ask whether their visions of who we are and our possibilities are limited by their failure to "confront some of the implications raised by serious works of the imagination, works that force us to face mysteries in the world …

Edward Dorn, William Mcpheron Jan 1988

Edward Dorn, William Mcpheron

Western Writers Series Digital Editions
