Dear Lawrence,

If you have the chance to read this, thank you again for the wondrous, ongoing journey that started for me in 1969 when I read a borrowed copy of Pictures of the Gone world and then made my very first purchase of a book of poetry with Coney Island. One of my favorite poems there, In the wounded wilderness of Morris Graves, has led me into that man's fascinating body of work. I wish Poetry had published the painting that appears on the cover of How to Paint Sunlight, for that would look nice along with the other superb works. To anyone who reads this, get a copy of How to Paint Sunlight, and you will find Mr. Ferlinghetti in all his wonderful powers, if in a more gentle light, than the works that originally made him famous. I say this because any artist's most famous works tend to overshadow others that are just as deserving of attention. Thank You.
