Nor do I like his biography of Dickey, which strikes me as the spiritual and emotional contradictory of the man who lies behind so many gentle and refreshing lyrics such as "Sleeping Out at Easter."

Of course Dickey's poems are lies.<BR/>My friend, Al Brazelton, to whom Deliverance is dedicated, was given the contract to do the bio originally, but he was too sensitive to write it, as he knew Dickey so well. But he wd not have been concerned with accuracy in the poems.--Myreen Moore NicholsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
