We knew it all the time, David. But we couldnae do what you have done. It's brilliant, it's poetry, it's what I want to publish in Frisky Moll Press. You not only put Leicester on the poet map, but----forgive this impertinent prophecying----you put the whole poet globe on notice: a restive spirit turns around and turns us around. We'd do well to pay attention, then, wouldn't we? Take your works to Dublin where the spirits understand your revolution. America is ready for you, and we're willing to be led by a Brummie [we haven't that particular prejudice, you see].
