His acceptance speech is much press his literary life- he wrote many reinvigorateds, poems, and short stories, as many kit and boodle as most writers produce in their lifetime in practiced over a decade, but received little recognition for them until later on he had retired.

He wanted to create something out of the human spirit that did not exist before.
