I look forward to the book, Will.  Your love for poetry combined with an
interest in Salinger does not surprise me. I read somewhere that
Salinger wanted to be a poet, his favorite mode being that of haiku, but
he couldn't get the poetry published. And I find it interesting that
salinger has chosen an obscure publishing co. for his _hapworth_, a co.
recognized for publishing poetry.  Also Ian Hamilton, who wrote _in
search of jds_ is better known for his autobiographies of poets like
Robert Lowell (I think) than anything else. 

keeping the candle burning for your book--
