Four were famous authors--Elizabeth Bishop, John Cheever, James Dickey, and Robert Fitzgerald. Two were unknown--Gioia's Merchant Marine uncle and Ronald Perry, a forgotten poet. Each of the six essays provides a vivid portrait; taken together they tell the story of Gioia's own journey from working-class LA to international literary success."--Page 4 of cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 811.54 Gioia Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
