Summary
Thanking Herbert for the "long and interesting letter"; sharing condolences for Herbert's message that poetry in the United States "is in as poor a shape as it is" and that the literary magazine The Tiger's Eye has stopped running; sharing his challenges getting published in order to convey to Herbert that "if you were to handle my poems for American magazines, and I yours for English ones, I would most certainly be getting the best of the bargain"; discussing the dismal state of poetry and poetry criticism in England; expressing support for Herbert's various projects; sharing updates on his work with The Lotus Press.
