He especially emphasized this "rule" with regards to poetry, but also noted that the short story is superior to the novel for this reason. It was... Continue Reading →

Tomorrow Is Veterans Day -Have We Learned Anything?
The most powerful part is the imagery at the very end of the video -- watch it to the end. The message is unspoken, poignant -- and tragically, forgotten.
