Essay collections
Stoehr edited and published three collections of Goodman essays with Free Life Editions in 1977: Drawing the Line, Nature Heals, and Creator Spirit Come! The essay collections are loosely grouped by theme: Goodman's political, psychological, and literary essays, respectively. Their selections span popular, out-of-print, and previously unpublished essays throughout Goodman's life.[1]
Drawing the Line contains Goodman's early essays on state resistance, The May Pamphlet; essays on
Drawing the Line
Stoehr's introduction to Drawing the Line covers his personal connection with Goodman, whose nonconformist approach to life shocked young people into reconsidering their instincts.[2]
Writing in Bookforum on the volume's 2010 rerelease, Kerry Howley found Stoehr's introduction to be the highlight of a book of stodgy and poorly structured essays.[2]
Paul Goodman Reader/PM Press
Kerry Howley questioned the wisdom of PM Press's 2010 republication of Goodman's New Reformation, Drawing the Line, and new collection, the Paul Goodman Reader, affirming Kingsley Widmer's 1980 quip that "a complete collected works would only be an embarrassing exposure before entombing." She criticized his prose as extinguishing the joy out of otherwise interesting, subversive thoughts in clunky essays and artless fiction.[2]
