Summary
Thanking Wagenknecht for his review of "Rendezvous in a Landscape"; specifying that it will appear sometime in early August; noting that he chooses to keep the beginning of each line of verse lowercase because it suggests an intentional relationship to prose rather than formal verse; writing that using capital letters mid-sentence "usually halts the reading flow for me"; calling the review kind and sympathetic.
