Pickpick

It seems inconceivable that poets were once guests on the Tonight Show and on the cover of Life. But they were, and James Dickey was larger than life. Today, however, he‘d be the poster child for toxic masculinity. I usually avoid memoirs, but Dickey‘s son was also a terrific writer, and there are quite a few details in this on the filming and inspiration for Deliverance. I didn‘t realize how exploitative the movie was until reading this.

SamAnne I‘ve been trying to get to this one for a long time. Heard a great interview with the author on Fresh Air. I take James Dickey‘s poetry with me when I do river trips. But yeah, he was a hot mess. 1y
plemmdog @SamAnne when I was an undergrad, he visited my college. I‘m told he always wore a Tyrannosaurus Tex T-shirt at USC every time he returned graded papers. 1y
