I was puzzled by "then my beautiful Ghost & Other Sonnets" which only
mentions the "my" not Salt's prodution job on the manuscript itself.

I was trying to sing the praises of Salt in the bit you quoted, often
Selected poems can be meager but the published all my longer poems which I
was thrilled to have furthermore I meant the PRODUCTION of Ghost sonnets was
beautiful not the poems themselves (which I rather like if that's a crime
then I'm guiltily) , I don't review my own work I leave that to others,
but if it pleases you to think the worst of me please carry on. As for
modesty - it can go feck itself - sorry if you find that objectionable in a
woman but quite frankly my dear I don't give a damn.

Yes, but you single yourself out, and not modestly either:
"One of Salt's earliest publications was a very substantial Selected Poems
of mine followed by the Companion (ed by Scott Thurston) and then my
beautiful Ghost & Other Sonnets. I'm also almost 61 years of age so you'd
think I'd qualify for Tony's list below more than some he mentions but no -
it's all blokes."
Are there no other women also with "substantia"l selected poems" and other
works that are also "beautiful" you could have mentioned by name? Just
asking.

I'm sure I meant 'other women' otherwise I wouldn't have written 'other
women'. Does that answer your question?

Are you sure Geraldine that you do mean all other women or just yourself
being left out of the list Tony made? Just asking.

Aw alright Tony I'll forgive you even though you start off by saying you'd
forgotten my Selected! But it is a point worth making every so often about
the way women are so often not included on roll-calls in Britain. The
accusation of gloating wasn't directed towards you, apologies if I gave you
that impression but for others who seem extremely harsh and cynical towards
Chris and Jen who worked their socks off to make Salt what it was/is.
Aw Randolph - it was inevitable - I couldn't help but laugh!!
