THE COLORADO REVIEW

My dear Doctor Williams:

We are currently soliciting material for a new literary
periodical, THE COLORADO REVIEW, to be privately published here
at Colorado A. & M. College by two incorrigible members of the
English department. This is to be an independent, non-academic
magazine of original creative literature, unburdened by articles
of explication and other Teutonic impedimenta. For a variety of
reasons, we'd very much like to have your work represented in
our first or second issue.

First of all, of course, you stand for something in the
literary consciousness. Second, a successful launching will insure
this as an outlet that would otherwise not exist for young,
creative artists, an outlet that otherwise would not exist.
(Frankly, some of the newer writers in the first issues will be
partially introduced through your name-value.) Third, successful
institution will go a long way towards making this a future
paying outlet for all serious writers, yourself included. Fourth,
we like your work.

We are interested in all forms of creative work which
you consider ready for publication, including experimental
fragments. If contribution of material is not possible at this
time for any reason, we, nonetheless, would still be interested
in hearing of your interest in our project.
