Dear Wystan, I saw Auckland Airport, and it was raining, and then I
saw the Domestic Terminal and alas, you were not there, and then I
was not there, I was in Christchurch. I am pleased to report that
Christchurch is full of charming poets who anxiously fed me in case I
starved on the spot, and conversed with me lest I should feel lonely,
and showed me some gorgeous countryside, and all in all, I had a
marvellous time.
And now I realise I have to remedy my desperate ignorance of NZ
literature, which is basically restircted to James K. Baxter and your
father. I think we must foster some cross-Tasman exchange.
Best
