Time for a literature

Time for a literature

Sir,

Alan Brunton describes Landfall as a shit of a journal. Can this be due to sour grapes, do you think? I understand that he has tried repeatedly to have his own special brand of crap accepted by Landfall and has had no luck at all, poor bastard! It's no wonder he has a shitty liver about it all!

And those nonentities that he claims need help. Why should they be helped? If they are any good at all, someone will publish them. If they're not, it doesn't matter anyway.

May I suggest that Brunton add to his list of things we can do without, his own pathetic non-verse and that of his fellow non-poets.
