[New-Poetry] thanks, David Graham

[William Knott]

thanks for providing the Mezey info...

and I would second your vote for the
Transtromer as the year's best. . .
but I'd bet that the British edition (is
it Bloodaxe?) is preferable in the
quality of its production to the New Directions
reprint version. . . better paper,
crisper typeface, binding, everything.

But New Directions is not as bad as FSG:
the printing in their paperback of Lowell's
"Imitations" looks so muddy and blurry
in some parts that it's barely legible. . . 

the Penguin edition of Heaney's "Poet to
Poet" selection from Wordsworth is so blurry
and runny in places that the type-face
font looks inadvertently italic. . . 

The novels put out by these same publishers
are immaculately printed, of course.  They
use quality-control procedures for their
prose books, but poetry they don't
give a fuck.
