I hope Kimber not only takes the Ms but\ntakes less time to decide than Mr.Miller of\nDolmen Press who has had my poems for 6 months.\n\nThe Hewison party was O.K. but the older I\nget the less I enjoy parties. I can't quite\nexplain it but I find them tiring and unsatis-\nfactory; and there are always too many hangers-\non around. Roy Fuller was there and a fellow\nI know from the LISTENER,D.A.N. Jones - xxxxx\nDavid Jones,more Jewish than Welsh,I'd say,a\nvery bright boy. But where were Comfort,N.Moore,\nTambi, Wrey G.,Derek S. ? Hamlet played not only\nwithout the Prince of Denmark but sans Polonius,\nOphelia and a few others. But the stalwart bard\nHeath-Stubbs lent his dignified presence; and\nthere\u2019s no irony intended. H-S ,to whom I\nspoke a good deal,is a very remarkable man.\n\nAs for INSIDE THE FORTIES, one of my xxxxxxxx\ncolleagues now calls me \"Pork Chops\" as a result\nof D.S.'s decade-delineation. Such is fame\n(infamy ?).\n\nI am very pleased with yr remarks about the\nnew poem,not least that you note my departure xxx\nfrom \"regular themes\u201d. I hope in the future to\n\"look shining at x new styles of architecture...\u201d\n","Type":"Text"}}]
