Rachel dear mr. gary mcdowell,

I would be much obliged if you sent me some of your new poems! They would be an apt remedy to the lack of jawlines and teeth and shoalings and sleepwalkers in my life.

sincerely,

rachel

p.s. my new email = rne208@nyu.edu

Rachel Dear lord, you have a lot of books. There is a reason Gary McDowell is such a good poet, or, well, at least 558 of them. I'm sad Adam and I didn't get to come visit you guys before New York happened/summer excited. You settled in okay?
