BENEVISTE
(Asa, 1925-1990, American Poet, Typographer and Publisher)
Typed Letter Signed to Mr Pollet,
rejecting his poems "I like your poems for their obvious sincerity and the area of feeling in which they operate, but I was slightly disturbed by the archaism of your language. It's as though you've let bypass you the experiments with language which English poetry has shown for the past decades. No doubt deliberately but still disturbing, and I think it somewhat undermines what you have to say ... my assessment of anyone's poems is a matter of taste and hardly objective. So I tell you what I think on the one hand, and on the other I would advise you to ignore it and write poems only the way you want ...", 1 side 4to., Trigram Press Headed Paper, 27th January
