Dickey, James Lafayette (1923–1997)| US poet, critic, and novelist. His fiction deals mainly with guilt arising from acts of individual or collective cruelty and the struggle for survival. His powerful best-seller Deliverance (1970; filmed 1972) is a menacing thriller about four men canoeing down a dangerous river. His poetry, initially conservative, turned to more open forms as in The Central Motion: Poems 1968–1978 (1979). His non-fiction To the White Sea was published in 1994. |
