So far, the definitive portrait of the great poet -- and a mean, somewhat pedantic one. Hart is more interested in Dickey as a heavy-drinking, big-talking, womanizing lout than as an artist; when he does get around to the poetry, he tends to scrutinize it for how "true" it is. There may never be a more complete book about Dickey, but one can't help but yearn for a more intelligent, less trashy one.
