>Dear  Eric:  Congratulations. It is I who will teach 651--but in the Fall,
and do the Sprint course --in the fall, we poets agreed.  Annie had done 3
of last four, and she teaches in spring. Originally, we thought we'd do one
genre each semester, but never have, till now... Jim Cummins will do the
sprint during 5th week of classes (9/17-21). There were NO neetings of Cw
faculty as a group, but poets all agreed on this. Hope that's OK with
you... My priorities are yours: recruitment of Grads has really fallen off.
Luckily we got enough good applicants this year...Hope SF was a good place
to be for you. Welcome back
