Joe Green has many great pages, and even humble I have a couple. A
whalloping great read! The section on myth was very interesting (I liked
John Tranter's poem on that theme too). Read it, buy it, it needs our
support - if you're in an academic institution, suggest the library
subscribes.

> Lawlor, David Wheatley, Mark Nixon, Philip Nikolayev, Daniel Albright, and a

> on Beckett's English translation of An Anthology of Mexican Poetry. A few of
> the essays quote extensively from Beckett's unpublished correspondence and
> manuscripts.

> ("The Claims of Poetry," "The Most Dangerous Phrase in America," and "The
> Natural and Supernatural Bounds of Science"), transcribed with annotation
