[Tim Murphy]

Another acceptance from the great Les Murray. I'm getting good at reading his hand writing, for he's taken about twenty poems in the last three years. The poem is Work Early, an ambitious one, and I thank all of you who helped beat it into shape. Gray's took Filial Piety, recently workshopped here. And our G. Michael Palmer has gotten a go-ahead from CPR to review Mortal Stakes, Faint Thunder, Hunter's Log, and Alan's Psalms of King David. Mike is a very perceptive reader of verse, and I look forward to what he has to say.
