Author Description

William Heyen's journal volumes are inclusive, sometimes brilliant, needy, & perhaps the most prodigious in American literature since Cotton Mather & John Quincy Adams. They witness his works and days, from when he takes out the garbage or chainsaws, to when he rubs shoulders with famous writers, travels, attempts to quiet himself by way of his entries. He will befriend you as you read him.Edwina Seaver
