And I was thinking I should formally ask Robin to write me an article
on the divergence of poetries from `mainstream' since Mallarme' mentioning
Sidney Graham and Roy Foster. Well sobeit.
Regarding my comment on John Kinsella he well knows that it is primarily
the lean sinewy poems in The Hunt that appeal to me. There are other good
poems there. But my personal taste does not rise to the Eclogues or the
sestinas. Sobeit. I could put similar criticisms against Thom Gunn's
`The Man with Night Sweats'.
