It is also INSCRIBED and SIGNED at length by the author on the 
half-title page to the poet William Meredith: "for William--what to 
say,but let me say it before the/16 poets begin. We've been in/this a 
long time, you and I--/and 16 is too many!--but/we're both pretty good, 
aren't/we? All best, Bill/Reed/5-9-84." Laid in is a program for a May
