Very cool, Sam. I must admit, I read some assessment of the poem that came out as part of this (the times, maybe?) and had to agree: the poem's a good joke, and devastating to Frost, who mostly deserved it, and a little bit at Eliot's expense as well. But trying to make it out to be a serious work is a caper worthy of Kinbote himself!

Anyway, congrats. Worthy work, and I'm glad it's getting noticed!

Thanks,

Bill
