I’m glad you like the new
arrangement for the book well enough
not to object.
I need to re-ask a couple of questions,
which will require only the briefest of
responses. First, what do you think of
my sending the book to U. Missouri
(the Devins Award)? Would publication
there give the poems as much “play”
as publication at Carnegie-Mellon
would? Second, can you and Jane
come over sometime during this month
for dinner, or is it another hectic
time for you both?
I have sent the new version of the
book to Pittsburgh, and I will be
sending 5 poems to Houghton-Mifflin
in May. Aside from U/MO, these are
the only places I can think of for now.
