| Quotation | The David Jones Agenda is a real event and revelation. As I told you, I did not know him at all. This has me felled. It is just what I have looked for so long: better than Bunting. With Jones, Bunting and Zukofsky we have the real poets and I wonder where they have been hidden. Of course it is no problem to keep a poet hidden from me as I don't see most of the mags. (a subscription to Poetry was given but the Boss would never let it through). Anyway, I am happy with the discovery and want to go into it much more. Also"”could I ask you for this? Can you dig up for me the paperback of Finnegans Wake and I'll swap you a drawing for it. I need it bad with Jones here. I'm trying to get In Parenthesis [by David Jones] etc. to do a chronicle for Continuum on him. |
