Stephen--
This is just to say that I have read and enjoyed your piece in Masthead,
though it will require a much closer and considered reading than I was able
to give it at the time if I am going to say more than the movement of the
language moving through me moved me--and I am not trying to be cute with
that formulation. The language of the piece seems to me to move in a very
visceral way, not only, but at least partly because of all the elisions or
ellipses or lacunae or whatever would be the proper word for them.

Subject: Poor(!) Alison (Re: Announcing Masthead 9)
All this wonderful heady - "high road" discussion de plaisir, and no one is
talking about the work inside Masthead, and what gives pleasure there. Is it
(the work) still the pretty new girl (or boy) in class who everybody
pretends to ignore?
Take the "low road in" and God knows where you might be in the morning.
Just another Masthead contributor whose work is getting impatient for all
your loving, pleasure taking, even critical attention!
And Alison (all that work), too!
Righteously here,
Stephen V
