Clark, wrote the foreword for "The View from Plum Lick": "David Dick integrates the memories & history of the ancient ancestors who traveled the country roads & worked the Plum Lick fields before him...The author details the occurrences of incidents, minor & consequential, with the grace & spiritual attachment of an Elizabeth Madox Roberts, of Wendell Berry, or a James Still & Jesse Stuart." "The View from Plum Lick" touches the lives of humans & other creatures living together in peace.
