Selected Columns

These columns are from a small (very!) alternative weekly called the Harbinger, now long gone. I first wrote there and at another small paper during the 1970's an 80's, moved on to bigger papers and magazines, then came back home to briefly replace the irreplaceable Stonewall Boulet Stickney, who died in 1996. 

Some good soul put up an online selection. These first comes from 1996, the others from 1997. 

Requiem for Salvo
The Lie that Tells the Truth
JAMES DICKEY ~ Tuscaloosa MFA daze
Allen Ginsberg in Mobile

Best read late at night, in a slightly rueful mood. A splash of Scotch or some cold white wine helps.
