Messrs.  Conte and Ahearn:
 
I have posted your inquiries regarding Stevens the boxer/boxee on the Stevens List.  I'll
forward any responses I receive.

Dear Stevens-Listers:
 
I thought you would be interested in a discussion underway on the Ezra Pound list that has
 
come to involve Wallace Stevens, the pugilist or victim, as the case may be.  If anyone on
 
this list has any anecdotes to offer, I'll forward them on to the Pounders for their
"canononical list of Stevens-batterers."

If I'm not mistaken, Theodore Roethke also popped Wallace Stevens in the
nose. As I recall, Roethke walked through a door, sighted Stevens, mauled
him, was lifted off, then was carried away by the police within a matter of
a few minutes. Those were the days of the really good parties, apparently.
Did anyone else ever belt Stevens? Perhaps this is a chance to draw up the
canonical list of Stevens-batterers....
