- OK, I bought 2 copies - one for the Library, one for me - but I gladly
forego my rights to witness the apicultural atrocity on offer. I can't
abide cruelty to bees. The book's fine, full of wit (? but no sting) and
compression and "curious matter" (? to comb out - sorry -). "Young poets" 
- should there be any out there - should be made to study JW's
inventiveness with lineation and verse patterns, quite apart from anything
else. It's available from Parataxis, c/o Drew Milne, English Dept.,
University of Sussex and perhaps someone will remind us all of the price.
