| Text Of Review: Eight decades of writing, and the words just keep pouring from Thomas Sheehan. His muses are generous, or perhaps they simply cannot let him rest. Hundreds of his short stories appear in online and print venues, with nearly 400 of his Western stories alone in Rope and Wire. Twenty-four of his stories have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. One of his five collections of short stories, The Westering, was nominated in 2012 for the National Book Award; and one of his five poetry collections, Korean Echoes, was nominated in 2011 for a Distinguished Military Award. A memoir and four of his novels are published.
