He’s a compulsve writer; and compulsive writing often makes hard reading. I tried to read the pamphlet but gave up. Lord, I am not (intellectually) worthy. Well,to take the Holbrookian xxxxxxxxxx taste out of your (literary) mouth I enclose a small selection from one Simmons. I don’t greatly admire him,but I’ve read worse; and at least I know what he’s getting at. I wonder if that note about W.H.A. will stimulate controversy. What did yr bookseller think of the Gascoyne offering ? Love to you both- Robert Text Saturday, August 20, 2016 - 11:09
