I'm weakest on RPW. The amount of time I spend reading and researching to write a few words one would assume I'm ignorant of the concept of efficiency.
Chase, thank you for this essay, and for your dedication to Southern letters. I’m thinking about a little Robert Penn Warren project, so I’m alert to all things Fugitives. (RPW looms large over bookish people of my generation born, raised, and educated in Kentucky.) As soon as I can get through editorial wrangling on my current book, I plan to re-read RPW’s novels, some of his poems, a biography, and his contribution to I’ll Take My Stand - an impractical amount of work that might result in one 3,000-word essay.
