In October the Ohio University Press astonished me by telling me that Set The Ploughshare Deep was the nominee of one of the three Pulitzer jurors. Anthony Hecht was evidently unable to summon the second vote needed to make me one of the three finalists. Nonetheless I am deeply honored by his esteem. Knopf will soon be publishing a new collection by Mr. Hecht, and you can be sure we'll be discussing it on the Mastery and Discerning Eye boards.
