Brimming

by Mary Dutcher

Dear Mark,

I hope this message finds you most well.

Because of a visit from Millie Cargas (en route to Oxford for Serrita’s PhD graduation: she speaks of your counsel to Serrita most appreciatively), I find that she was unaware of The Book of Mev. She is now ordering it.

But because of her visit, I found myself re-reading it. What can I say? It is a beautiful, truthful, wonderful work. I did not write the first time I read The Book of Mev because I felt you were probably getting overwhelmed and needed space.

But I write now. It bears a second reading, and it still brims with beauty, truth and wonder.

You are a dear–and a courageous and truthful human being.

Love,

Mary.
