Poetic Thoughts - Wrastling With Ernest Hemingway - by C.W. Pruitt II
posted: Jan. 10, 2014

Poetic Thoughts header

Back in 1996 I read a book entitled Papa: Hemingway in Key West by James McLenden. I was living in Miami Beach at the time and I checked the book out at the smallest library I have ever seen.
Below is a playful summary of that book:

Wrastling With Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway
wrastled with sentences.
He would grab the sentence
and begin to tear at it
until it was nothing
but bones.
He would do this to
sentence after sentence
for four hours a day
without sitting down.
Then he would go
to the bar
and drink too much
and fight people.
Ernest Hemingway
was by nature
a wrastler.
