Bottom lines: I loved creating this work. I hope
you enjoy experiencing it....The essay titled "The Plight of Poetry" (click ESSAY I) analyzes the pall that has hung
over poetry for the last several decades....Let's sum it up this way: serious and sensitive are fine, but there's more to
life, and there should be more to literature....If I could make you laugh or cry, well, that's a fine thing.

For those interested in literary matters and
education generally,
there
is nothing so appalling as the news (you must have heard this repeatedly) that American public schools can't seem to get the hang of teaching kids to read. You are left finally
with some very unpleasant options: our educators are grossly incompetent; or they are engaged in a weird plot to dumb down the country one "sight
word" at a time.

--Some will suspect this is Bill Clinton's White House--
"Tom Clancy Meets Southern Gothic"...That's Hollywood talk. But if limited to five words, it's not bad.
Another summary might be: yeah, a thriller but sort of literary.
This novel would in fact make a good Hollywood movie.
You get the big thriller feeling but on a medium budget,
because
the story is concerned with the interactions of an ensemble cast,
not so much with explosions and exotic sets.
