A Notebook on the Work of C. Liegh McInnis

When I met him in Mississippi during the mid 1990s, I knew C. Liegh McInnis as a poet. Over the years, I've come to view him as a poet, essayist, short story writer, editor, publisher, and arts organizer.  I've had the chance to write about aspects of his work over the last few years.
