RSGwynn [to Gary and Stan] :"Of course it could be Lenin's gal garb if we
impute cross-dressing (why not?) to Kinbote.If you're looking for poets as
models for CK, try Pound.Hetero, but kinky./ In my essay in the forthcoming
PF book from Gingko, I do mention Lowell as a possible influence on VN's
conception of JS's poem, mainly because Lowell's most recent book at the
time of PF's action was The Mills of the Kavanaughs, much of which is in
couplets.If VN was going to set his sights on a contemporary poet as one
worthy of competing with, RL would have been at the top of the heap.
JM: You are indicating this new "Pale Fire Solus," ie where there's no
Kinbote recreating Shade. Do you consider, then, that this independent
production, by Nabokov now, would explicitly shape itself following any
contemporary poet, or its conception result from a poetic competition,
instead of .what would be the term.traditional poetry?
