Letter from Laura Jackson to Edward Mendelson, 1970-05-21

"At least two things rise up to engage my thought, from what you present in your letter, besides the question that you put to me, and I am giving them priority of attention in this my reply because, in their bearing on research in which a connection between my poetic work and the poetic work of Mr. Auden is pointed to, they have more importance than the source of my quotation in the preface of my Collected Poems. First, as to your words on 'the relation' of my poetry and W.H. Auden's."
