A Roger Angell Appreciation http://pitchersandpoets.com/2009/11/30/whos-our-daddy-a-roger-angell-appreciation/ both have their moments Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:25:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Stretch http://pitchersandpoets.com/2009/11/30/whos-our-daddy-a-roger-angell-appreciation/comment-page-1/#comment-755 Stretch Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:27:21 +0000 http://pitchersandpoets.com/?p=1195#comment-755 I was struck with a similar sense of appreciation, which quickly crossedd the border into awe, as I read Angell's most recent piece in The New Yorker. I didn't think anything would ever rival his classic "Legend of the Fens" but, happily, I was wrong. Thanks for exposing it to a wider audience.
