Atdtda22: [42.1i] Modern poetry, 607

[James Kyllo]

Hi Heikki

I'm sure we have more Japanese culture here than in Paris (although
I'm struggling to think of examples - there was a Japanese department
store by Piccadilly Circus, but I was down there to an album launch
earlier this evening and didn't notice it...).   My girlfriend's
daughter will be turning 15 next spring - don't know if that would
constitute an attraction..   It would be great to see you back here in
any case
