Cheever is still writing about all the problems that began to plague suburban literature in the 50s: psychic and spiritual dislocation, the retreat from outward chaos...
...engineering plant. Three hundred young workers, mostly pretty girls, turned up to listen to poetry. When the poets had finished, they insisted that I contribute whatever I could remember.
