KIND WORDS FROM CHARLES BUKOWSKI

Hello Susan Quist:
you put the wiz in wisdom...you know how to wire it up so people can read it without getting a headache...keep it going and try to keep them from burning you alive.

KIND WORDS FROM KURT VONNEGUT

March 17, 1977

Dear Ms. Quist --

Thank you belatedly for your Valentine, On the Way to the Clap Clinic, a terrible title for such a tender and funny collection of good poems... I hope there will be many more...I show your book around to literate people who uniformly agree that you are a highly respectable poet and entertainer, and, if you are the lady on the cover, a great beauty as well.

Happy Easter --
Kurt Vonnegut
