He Began Writing Poetry During World War I, But With The Encouragement Of H. L. Mencken, Then America'S Foremost Literary Critic, He Switched To Prose. He Won The Prestigious Levinson Prize From Poetry Magazine At Age Twentyfive And Is The Only Oregonian Ever To Receive The Pulitzer Prize For Fiction, For His 1935 Novel Honey In The Horn, Which Mencken Called The Best First Novel Ever Published In America.Davis'S Work Displays A Rich Knowledge Of Northwest History And Folklore.
