    Most people forget what an interesting poet Dickey was, due to his novel (and subsequent film) 'Deliverance' overshadowing his poetic accomplishments. But he was a good poet before he became a bestselling novelist. Enjoyed the read. -LP

    A beautiful, poignant portrayal of the future of all living things. Imagination could do no more. Thank you for sharing.
