Annie referred in passing to his metrical stuff, and I remembered having
mentioned him to you a bit ago -- though at the time, I didn't know you'd
written an article on him.

The musical connection, I think.

Yeah -- he backchanneled me Lanier's Complete Poems from the Web. Nothing
was said, but I think Roger's implication was I should get the finger out
and read him

Fair do's -- means I don't have to bother chasing his theory. Ought to gave
a go at the poems, at least. Or simply read the one Mark posted?
