[New-Poetry] 100 Poets You Should Know

[Anny Ballardini]

Lovely mail, I do hope you will notify us whenever it is most convenient to 
you, of the happy publication of future books by Monsieur J.F. Quackenbush.
Looking as forward as it is given to me to reading His notable poetry. As an 
aside, and begging for forgiveness for my ignorance, is said Poet a direct 
descendant of Quackers?
With my skyscraping regards,
