OUT OF STOCK Paul Metcalf Metcalf is an American original, whose writing is neither part of the mainstream, nor can it be called avant-garde. He defies the distinction between fiction and non-fiction, poetry and prose with his own authentic style. Metcalf’s exploration of our history, multicultural roots, and ecological concerns make his work especially timely at the turn of the 21st Century. These volumes of his collected writings reveal the writer's continuous development of style throughout his career. code: chp mset
