"Imaginary Rejection
Mr. Raphael--
I put each word from your first poem on a separate index card & had my 3 year old scatter
them around; I'll be publishing the poem under her name.
The second poem had 13 'the's, which is
even too many for a page in a Russian novel.
Otherwise your poetry is like window-shopping
on an alien planet, where I have no idea
what most of the things are, but a couple
made me gasp"
--Dan Raphael
"Where white Astarte strays
And Echo and the silver-footed fays
Make alien music, fugitive and wild."
— George Sterling (via @isidro_li)
