Rather than write the graven letter that I should, I wonder if you'll accept this email as a formal invitation to contribute to the Fiftieth Birthday double issue (Spring / Summer 2009) of The Massachusetts Review. This is, for once, by invite only, drawing from the roster of past contributors. whose work has stood the test of time. We can give you nearly a year, but it'd be even better if we got it sometime in the late summer. It'll be a grand parade, and you should be in it!
