Thank you so much for the article. As I sit here working on what I think is the 27th (or is the 31st? 23rd? 42nd?) draft of a long long poem I am writing on Jan Vermeer's wife (I recently saw the Vermeer exhibit at the Met here in the city with a dear friend who, God Bless him, cracked jokes through the whole exhibit--which is my favorite way to go through a museum. Everyone usually looks like they could use a good laxative and Dr. Scholl's air cushions.), it just reminded me of myself at 17 (although I was listening to Janis Ian and Richard & Linda Thompson & Joni Mitchell & Paul Simon etc etc etc). God bless her, soon she will be swept up into the whirl of college and then life.--something which made me stop writing for 8 years, but the living is sometimes more important. And why I went back to grappling with words on paper. I will keep an eye open for her book. Thanks for sharing the info. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2001 05:22:32 EDT From: Tom926@aol.com Subject: [RS] Re: One other thing If you do know her, pass along a warning about Sarah Lawrence. The head of the creative writing program is a poet named Thomas Lux. He is a good poet, but his influence on his students is so strong that alot of them get branded as Thomas Lux acolytes. They actually do have a reputation in publishing circles I am told. Just something I thought she should know. ------------------------------ End of shindell-list-digest V3 #209 ***********************************
