Bon voyage and happy dreams. They make good poems, remember.
Please stay in touch when you have chances. When in Hawai`i, we have a nook....

Barbara Jane Reyes wrote responses to questions from my undergraduate class in American lit since 1950 on their blog: http://amlit338.blogspot.com. You may have to sift through some undergraduate scrivenings to get there, but it was the last book we read, so it should be near the top.

Hope you're enjoying the book.

This is just to say
that many of you
failed
to arise and go now
to class this
morning and your
prof was pissed
off, though she under-
stands the late
nights, the early-ish
mornings
she would still
appreciate
your coming to
class at around
10:30, mornings.
Work
shops
need
takers.

aloha, Susan

The internet has been very dicey today, so this is to say that I'll get to those of you who've emailed me over the weekend from the more reliable internets of Suffolk early this week. Sorry for the delay...
