Dear Sir —
I just finished reading Zeppelin. Please accept my sincere admiration for having crafted such a nuanced and rewarding work of poetry. I found Zeppelin as a relative new-comer to Toronto, a poet myself, and someone beginning to despair in finding a way to write about and out of this city. Your book set me straight; it shall be my beacon this winter. Thank you.
