WELLINGTON POETRY
Sir,-I wish to thank F. W. N. Wright for the comparison of my poem, "Song in the Hutt Valley." with the work of W. B. Yeats. This is to compare my poem with the highest attainment in the particular genre-and, of course, I humbly accept the strictures which
arise of such comparisons. But how niggling, petty and unworthy are the other comments made in the same letter. This aside, I look forward to seeing your correspondent’s knowledge of these matters bringing into print in The Listener a poem of the kind which I failaéd to write.
LOUIS
JOHNSON
(Lower Hutt).
