[Lloyd Addison's poem "Umbra" is reputed to be one origin of the name taken by the legendary Umbra Society of Poets, of which he was a senior member. His collection of poems THE AURA AND THE UMBRA was published in Paul Breman's HERITAGE series of African American poets.]

Dear Mr. Williams--
Thanks for your Tip.
And the return of manuscript.
No, I am no longer in N Mexico.
Yes, Mr. Creeley may indeed be a great poet.
Perhaps, however, Mr. Tedlock--who by
Academic Standard had adjudged your Efficiency
in the small matter as much as a year ago, sadly--
will not self-righteously be contained unto himself
and "road" cohorts to your preclusion.
Sorry your legend is of the past.
Yes, I would like to make school my
Continual Answering--it's all in the way of it
No, there is no 'Too'--just one.
Sincerely,
Lloyd Addison
