Rooting for Badgerdog
RECEIVED Mon., May 16, 2005
Dear Editor,
Your story on Badgerdog Literary Publishing by Nora Ankrum [“Write of Passage,” Books, May 13] has reached the eyes of this Badgerdog director in faraway California. As a sometime poet, my contribution is as much rooting from the sidelines as it is constructive input. And I do know how to root. In my view, Ms. Ankrum has demonstrated the kind of writing skill that contributes not only to your readers' knowledge of what is going on in this Austin-based enterprise but also leaves them with a very clear picture of the inspiration the quietly talented students are gaining in the writing workshops she describes. She is obviously at one with the program she portrays. I want to thank her for reminding me of why I joined the Badgerdog board in the first place.
