Glad to hear yr own creative work goes on merrily. I hope Kimber not only takes the Ms but takes less time to decide than Mr.Miller of Dolmen Press who has had my poems for 6 months. The Hewison party was O.K. but the older I get the less I enjoy parties. I can't quite explain it but I find them tiring and unsatis- factory; and there are always too many hangers- on around. Roy Fuller was there and a fellow I know from the LISTENER,D.A.N. Jones - xxxxx David Jones,more Jewish than Welsh,I'd say,a very bright boy. But where were Comfort,N.Moore, Tambi, Wrey G.,Derek S. ? Hamlet played not only without the Prince of Denmark but sans Polonius, Ophelia and a few others. But the stalwart bard Heath-Stubbs lent his dignified presence; and there’s no irony intended. H-S ,to whom I spoke a good deal,is a very remarkable man. As for INSIDE THE FORTIES, one of my xxxxxxxx colleagues now calls me "Pork Chops" as a result of D.S.'s decade-delineation. Such is fame (infamy ?). I am very pleased with yr remarks about the new poem,not least that you note my departure xxx from "regular themes”. I hope in the future to "look shining at x new styles of architecture...” Text Saturday, August 20, 2016 - 11:16
