Letter from Laura Jackson to Roderick Cave, 1970-10-05

"I assume from what you have written that you would have written, in a while, facing the difficulty of writing against the background of the incomprehension you experienced in reading my preface to the poems-selection."

"You speak of my way of writing, as you encounter it in that preface, as if it were the result of immurement with my husband in esoteric preoccupation, far from the literary world."
