He (Rudman)is much kinder to the 'newcomer' Valles, even seeing her work as 'fresh', I believe he said. <BR/>Looking back at my copy of the Jan. '07 Poetry, I now see that my introduction to Herbert actually came via Valles. Apparently she was\is good enough for Poetry Magazine...Speaking of which, I see another name in that edition I now recognize.

One of them was in the New England Review, I believe.<BR/><BR/>So if I find the references without trying, then Hofmann did not do his homework. If he had, he would not have implied that Valles was a nobody who did not deserve such an important commission.Andrew Shieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804655739574694901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20782819.post-30389470586826055612007-06-05T16:59:00.000+02:002007-06-05T16:59:00.000+02:00The review makes me want to never read another wor...The review makes me want to never read another word of Hofmann, and to look up and find out all I can of Valles, to give the gal a chance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
