What a fine book. The finest. And what a selfless service you've performed. I never told you this but I remembered as I turned the book's pages that, of course, you were the one person that Sinclair always spoke of with an uncritical glow. The man who was invigilating a great renaissance in Rotterdam was I think how he first spoke of you. You've done him proud. The book's a great prize to have and to hold. Heathcote Wiliams
dear gerard -- bone hebrew arrived an hour ago.
it is magnificent! absolutely stunning. just finished reading Liliane Lijn's
memory piece. I couldn't stop. i read the letter to Heathcote, too. and your
own sweet poem. i am green with envy. your own "profoundest care"
comes through in every page. I love the "look" of the book as much as
the content. i haven't finished reading the rest of the book. felt the
need to msg you immediately. i want to go back to the beginning of the book and
read straight thru without jumping around. God, I feel
lucky. Jan Herman
Dear Gerard, I'm really enjoying Bone Hebrew.
The essays and memoirs really help round out a good portrait of a great poet. Do you have any other collections of
Sinclair's poetry still in stock somewhere? I need to read more. You've done a great job with Bone
Hebrew, and a great service to Sinclair. Thanks and cheers. Mark Terrill
