...this careful and eloquent biography, the first full-length portrait of Poet Thomas ever published, Author Constantine FitzGibbon demonstrates with vivid detail that the reality sometimes outdid the legend.

She accused Judge Wilson of no hanky-panky, but declared that at their second encounter, the judge told her that because he was "in charge...
...language of Reetchie's monologues is vivid--"Brains boiling bubbling in a chalky skull"; "while the sun eats away my eyelids." But much of it is the musing of someone who is still in a state of shock. Only the condition, brutally emphasized, comes through. Reetchie does not. Even the name is obscure; only its sound is clear...
