http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49555753

In an undated letter, Garrett advises Simmons to send his story to Brock Brower who accepts manuscripts for "Transatlantic Review." In a letter 1964 June 27, Garrett compliments Simmons on his poems but says neither the "Virginia Quarterly Review" nor the "Transatlantic Review" are accepting more poems. In a letter, 1964 October 9, Garrett compliments a story by Simmons, and advises against submitting to the "Virginia Quarterly Review" whose editor, "a fine lady with good but refined taste" has never "published a story off the beaten track. He suggests Gordon Lish at "Genesis West," "Cavalier, " "Transatlantic Review" and Robie Macauley at "The Kenyon Review" as possible publishers, and praises the work of Vassar Miller. In a letter, 1965 October 31, Garrett thanks Simmons for his praise of "Do Lord" and suggests that Simmons try Miller Williams at the Louisiana State University Press.
