the most influential books in my life have been one-work authors
or if they wrote more than one, there was a great work
one book that summed up their whole endeavors, an outpouring of considered thought
these are the works that represent a lasting truth
and books were just the way to transmit that information
they weren’t writers as such, as a profession
the one great work

Some of my own greatest influences wrote prodigiously, and all was part of their greater work. There is no single formula.
