He would later attend Oberlin College in Ohio where, transfixed by the minimalist landscape of lawns and wires, he majored in Creative Writing. He is the winner of the 2005 Chautauqua Literary Journal's Prize for Prose but would rather be known for his contributions to science (see "Radiation's Affect on Contemporary Poetry," Science News, 2007 Issue 93).

Rick Poinsett

Rick Poinsett about "The Winning Cruelty of Ray Gish": 'Let me say that Ray's cruelty preceded this poem and will surely outlive it. But there is no 'Ray Gish,' of course. I mean, how could there be? How could we hope that there be—in Blake's terms—such an 'Animate Wither' moving among us? This world is a little thin on the substance that allows for such a man, a man of remote superiority, ponderous gifts, conflicts of every kind. . . . In this sense, maybe 'Ray Gish' is merely a pseudonym for 'David McLendon,' my Thank You, my thumbnail homage to the godhead behind this magazine."
