Phew!
Something else to talk about.
Hugh raises an interesting point. I had not realized that it was these
letters being included that caused all the trouble with publishing the
book. It's a hard one, as Les Murray's actions & his plwer are of grteat
importance to an understanding of both him & the 'scene' at that time.
On the other hand, I definitely would agree that those letters are supposed
to be, and for many fo the writers involved should be, private.
I'll be interested to see what others have to say to this question...

How, but thru a monstrous 'specialism', the so-called authority
of erstwhile 'professionals', have we come to leave
_breath_ out of images and _images_ out of breath, anyhow?
