I just want to say that I've been reading and rereading the new additions to the "newformalist e-books," and can't believe my good fortune at being in such distinguished company. The variety of theme and subject, the quality of the writing, the ease with which these six remarkable guys handle everything from frontier lore to philosophical specu-lation to history and religious questioning to that trick-iest of all commodities, humor! I've never been in better company than on this electronic "shelf" with this blend of old friends and exciting new ones. My thanks to Leo, and to Tim for inviting me to submit work! And I'm looking forward to the poets soon to come aboard.
