Jordan found a letter I had written to Kenneth Koch in 1983, while going through some papers in order to edit the Director's Cut DVD of The Pleasures of Peace (I made that last part up.) I had forgotten completely about the fact that I had written him a letter. I'm surprised he kept it. My wife reminded me that I had sent him a poem based on Some South American Poets. I had absolutely no recollection of this, although a line Jordan quoted me from my letter rang a bell, as something I would have said.
