Rick Poinsett

Rick Poinsett about "The Winning Cruelty of Ray Gish": 'Let me say that Ray's cruelty preceded this poem and will surely outlive it. But there is no 'Ray Gish,' of course. I mean, how could there be? How could we hope that there be—in Blake's terms—such an 'Animate Wither' moving among us? This world is a little thin on the substance that allows for such a man, a man of remote superiority, ponderous gifts, conflicts of every kind. . . . In this sense, maybe 'Ray Gish' is merely a pseudonym for 'David McLendon,' my Thank You, my thumbnail homage to the godhead behind this magazine."
