Having quietly visited your collection on the website, postpoems, and read some of your poems selected randomly during my several visits there, I grant you unlimited and unconditional permission to quote. cite, and/or make reference or allusion to )without limitation, condition, restriction, or obstruction) as much of any of the texts of any of my published writings as you find useful in the ongoing construction of your collection of poetry. This is also retroactively applicable to any of the poems you have already [posted or published at postpoems or elsewhere.
I have also sent a copies of this permission to the legal firm that represents me, to my agent, and to those of my family who will, at the appropriate time, inherit all rights to my published writings---to establish that you have an unlimited and unrestricted easement, to so describe it, to, in, and through all of my published writings.
I apologize for any inconvenience my unintentional delay in reply has caused you. From visits to your poems in the earlier part of this year, I noticed that you received several unfounded, unproven, and totally unprovable allegations of plagiarism by a person that, apparently, wanted to antagonize you. This is one of the attendant pitfalls of literary excellence. Remember, certain antagonists, envious and jealous of T. S Eliot's early success, also leveled such accusations at him. The Notes to The Waste Land constituted his reply to their baseless and childishly vindictive claims.
Please use any or all of this email at pospoems, or anywhere else it may be useful to your work. You may also include my email for any challengers (such as the person mentioned in the paragraph above) who might wish to receive direct confirmation from me. As a Poet and an amateur scholar of formidable accomplishment (yes, I did read your Mayerling poem), your sense of ethical obligation and courtesy toward your peers is as highly developed as (if I may be permitted a boast) . . . mine.
Yours most truly and accurately,
Taphless Gibler
