Hart Crane gets his Library of America volume this Autumn, too. Most of the page count must be letters.

Crowley

I'm glad to see your high praise for Crowley. I adore his fiction, just taught "The Green Child" in the medieval lit part of an English survey course, and bought a bunch of _Girlhoods_ for friends. A powerful story! You know about this, right? http://www.littlebig25.com/

I sure do, and am subscribed. Sadly they didn't make their quota by March, though, and are giving themselves a one year extension. Hope it all pans out.

Girlhood's great. Green Child's one of the few stories I didn't really get, except as another Gnostic fable. Was this a real medieval legend?

I don't think it was a real medieval legend, though I should ask medievalists more about that. I was teaching it in relation to the Prioress's Tale, which, although a lot more violent, treats issues centered on childhood and alienation and xenophobia in interestingly similar and different ways. Yeah, it reads very much as a fable.
