MARGARET ATWOOD

I read somewhere that Margaret Atwood's strongest influence
ReplyDeletewas DAWN POWELL, an author who is no stranger
to your blog pages.
Oliverio greatly appreciates your comment
Deletebut he knew—from his first reading of ATWOOD—
that someone as talented as Margaret had to be
seriously under the influence of a master
who was also a mystery.
The boldness of the last line is no better way to describe
DAWN POWELL who—beyond sadness—is virtually unknown
in the hoola-hoop literary circles
