NEW POETRY
The Unpuzzling by Joshua Alan Sturgill
Mr. Conrad’s Latest: I have been reading the three tales in the volume very carefully, and I find I do understand my friend’s criticism; and I cordially agree with it. Judging from “Twixt Land and Sea,” I would say that though Mr. Conrad is undoubtedly an admirable craftsman, he is not a great artist: he is a very good writer, but he is not a very good author. This sounds paradoxical; I will try to explain.
