the long version

Jack Foley documents the heated debate that surrounds literary California. When Dana Gioia, the author of "Can Poetry Matter?," published his provocative essay, "Fallen Western Star: The Decline of San Francisco as a Literary Region," he knew that certain quarters would be up in arms.
