Thanks and congratulations to Dr Miller and colleagues! What a fine companion to your marvelous 2016 edition of the poems. It was in fact E.D.s letters that captivated me, before the poems. Now I get the sense of a long-awaited completeness surrounding her legacy - and yet her mystique remains. I hold all of it - the known and the unknown - as sacred.
Well I was going to comment that in her lecture she didn’t mention Martha Nell Smith at all and then someone in the audience asked about one of Smith’s books. So my point remains, this editor did not bring in, especially at the moment when erasures were discussed, the name of Professor Smith, and I think it’s a shame, because Smith did pioneering research on this.
