I am currently caught up in the writing of Brian Doyle. I "discovered" him a few weeks ago in the current issue of Orion Magazine. His essay, "Lost Dog Creek" inspired me to write a letter to Orion praising them for including his essay, along with a piece by Terry Tempest Williams in the same issue.

Mr. Doyle's work is humorous and refreshing. Good natured sarcasm. He is clearly a dedicated father and spouse. And he has a deep felt sense of spirituality. He actually writes from a Catholic perspective...though somehow it hasn't been in a negative way!
