"The good writer, the great writer, has what I have called the three S's: The power to see, to sense, and to say. That is, he is perceptive, he is feeling, and he has the power to express in language what he observes and reacts to." - Lawrence Clark Powell
Librarian, writer and critic, Lawrence Clark Powell (1906-2001) was born in Washington, DC, and raised in California where his father managed Sunkist Growers.
