He often times went into gruesome detail with different things. One of his many accomplishments was gaining the editorial position at the Southern Literary Magazine. He had published several books by this time. One of which had been entered in and won a contest in the Saturday Visitor. In his later years, he made a living as a literary critic and theoretician.
