Thank you for reproducing that vivid review, and for presenting it as a lucid shard; one that still cuts today. I loved that Alan Sondheim used words like ‘slightness’, ‘grace’ and ‘resistance’ when describing your work, and its’s possible underlying ‘intentions’.

…and to think I got so sick of apologizing for Jesse Helms back then…
