i have to strongly disagree
rh dillard is a great teacher, he has turned out some amazing writers, two of which were wives of his at one time. both grad students of his.
annie dillard being the most famous and an absolutely brilliant writer. cathryn hankla a damn fine poet.
i agree her Idillard's)nonfiction is better than her fiction, but i find him completely unreadable.
i am curious to know why you were shocked, kristyn. i found the book profoundly moving, and it changed the way i looked at nature. i read it in the late seventies or early eighties, not too long after it came out, and have been an avid fan ever since.
(ok, bring it on, i can take it!)

"The Living" really depressed and disturbed me. Although I accept logging as part of history of my region, I really don't like stories about and photos of lumberjacks standing proudly astride 800 year old trees turned into logs.
