THANKS, Jeff, Jacob, and Tim,
 
                      for the Cheadle and the other data & comments. I'll order both immediately.
Strangely I I hadn't discovered these things in PAI's "books received" section, altho usually I
scan it very carefully... Mh.
BTW, has anybody seen Sanehide Kodamas 1988 book (something like "American Poetry and
Japanese Culture"... I have the data here in my computer but not at hand right now. An Anchor
book?

Simon: Is the Perloff essay you mention by chance a variation of her "The Contemporary of our
Grandchildren" in George Bornstein's "Ezra Among the Poets" of 1985 [U of Chicago]?

Archie: I'll check that with the people at Hanser Verlag.
 
 
Be well,
