"Dear Sandy, Hello" Letters from Ted to Sandy Berrigan


"Dear Sandy, Hello" is a collection of letters between Ted and Sandy Berrigan. It's a rich slice of literary history, a first hand eavesdropping, a glimpse into a not too distant politically charged past, a love story. If you are familiar with Ted Berrigan's work, you will find this insightful. If you aren't familiar with Ted Berrigan's work, get familiar. There is a little more information over here: http://www.spdbooks.org/Producte/9781566892490/dear-sandy-hello-letters-from-ted-to-sandy-berrigan.aspx And if you are interested in reviewing, as always, contact us at Michael.Sikkema@gmail.com. Thanks.
