I certainly did read your review and was thrilled by
it, responding "Joe Green--you are the BEST!"
One listee decided to buy the chapbook on the strengh
of your review, but if I had to choose between readers
and dollars, it would be readers like you who steep
themselves in a text impressionistically and bring
out the subtext. I'm going to post a couple of poems
that you and other readers have commented on, for the
sake of those readers who haven't read them (yet).
Thanks again for your input--I learned a lot from your
take on Moon.
