Dick Wilbur returns, probably later this week. He sends his greetings to all his colleagues at the Eratosphere, and he expresses his sorrow that Anthony Hecht was unable to appear a second time. He had great fun the last time, although this year he is buried in snow, and neither Alan nor I shall be in Cummington with a wireless laptop. Therefore he will be sending me by typewriter and snail mail a short comment on each of the poems I am submitting to him. Dick expressed his desire to see work by writers with whom he is unfamiliar. I shall accomodate that desire. I hope that our writers will respond to his comments, to the poems I select. I shall send him printed copies of the threads.
