Part of it is available on the Google books version of "The Whole Motion." For the rest, I guess you'll have to pick up a copy of the print version, although we are working to have the publishers make it available on Kindle.<br />http://books.google.fr/books?id=_74A2UW8C_UC&lpg=PP1&dq=%22goodbye%20to%20serpents%22&pg=PA392#v=onepage&q=%22goodbye%20to%20serpents%22&f=falseChristopher Dickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16767149723698320174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19768869.post-64940909120844152462010-08-28T08:37:19.074-07:002010-08-28T08:37:19.074-07:00It's long enough ago that I cannot remember if...It's long enough ago that I cannot remember if I discovered 'Deliverance' through your father's poetry or his poetry through the novel. What I am trying to recall is an essay (poem?) published in one of the major popular publications around the time of Vietnam. In it, he wrote about getting a haircut in a barbershop in South Carolina, one where he asked for only a trim of his rather long hair, and thereby earned several jibes from the other patrons. The conclusion had him donning a jacket with the eagle-and-banner motif embroidered on the back. And the banner carried the word "Poetry."<br /><br />All the best. I thought the TIMES piece was superb.<br /><br />Gary www.garypresley.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513058592327921546noreply@blogger.com
