This Craft of Verse: gift idea for Gene Wolfe?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Patrick - I've wanted to write Mr. Wolfe for some time: do you have a
snail-mail address for him?  I promise not to abuse it!

John,

I have it from the horse's mouth that Gene Wolfe has "never heard of
this."

I feel certain he would be most appreciative of such a gift.
