	WAG: James Dickey's Crux
		By and large, in these letters (roughly twenty percent of Dickey's total correspondence dating from 1943 to his death in 1997), he's not setting out to impress the reader with the weight of his poetic feeling, as he did when writing for publication.
		Whether you agree with Dickey's largely negative opinions of other contemporary poets (or can stomach his high opinion of his own worth), his swaggering, streetfighting style is great fun.
		Then, once Dickey has matured and been recognized by his peers, the collection serves as a good summary of how he positioned himself on a number of critical issues (like who are the best living poets; not surprisingly, Dickey showed up on his own list).

		Dickey was weak, and asked that Greiner sit at the table next to him so that he could touch his arm should he feel ill. “He was determined to deliver the address,” Greiner recalls.
		Dickey's constant drinking was a form of release, Greiner said, from days spent living in a private world, which is always at war with the one on the outside.
		Dickey's style, too, was significant: “That rising trimeter line is extraordinary for the kind of poems that Dickey is writing.” Dickey's switch to a split line, creating a so-called “wall of words” effect where words and phrases are spaced across the line, led to some great poetry but, for Greiner, it also precipitated a decline.

		The bourbon enhanced what had been intuitively my impression of the man from the first: Dickey was a sensitive man, high-strung, as the old way of putting it goes; yet gradually what what emerged was a deeply suspicious, a paranoidal character, Meaning no perjoration by that term: it takes one to know one.
		Dickey seemed to have thought he was obliged to sing for his supper and drinks, and was good enough to get from us the same respect for his miserable Leadbelly imitations we had shown for his poetry.

	The Harbinger. James Dickey (1923-1997) - A Memory
		James Dickey was musing to friend about a recent near-death experience last year, when he flatlined at the doctor's.
		Dickey was still something of a celebrity when I first met him in Tuscaloosa in 1978.
		I mainly remember the rhythms of Dickey's voice - you could feel this man's love of language, and when he read "The Sheep Child," you utterly believed in a poem narrated by the offspring of a farmboy and a sheep, kept pickled on a dusty shelf in the back room of a Georgia museum.
