A Poet's Laurel Wreath for Sharon Olds

Dear Mrs. Bush:

I am writing to let you know why I am not able to accept your kind invitation to give a presentation at the National Book Festival on September 24, or to attend your dinner at the Library of Congress or the breakfast at the White House. (The rest of her excellent letter is here)
