Letter to the Editor

				Dear Editor,

I'd expect that many a layman like myself, whose interest in poetry can be confined to a few shelf-feet of anthologies, reference works, and Poetry issues, was tickled by your "Antagonisms." You mean we really don't have to revere all that canonical stuff ? Whew, what a relief!
