I understand that it has become increasingly difficult to get good stories for the magazines, one reason being the greater profit from writing scenarios for the "movies," another the deductive attraction of vers libre. The latter enables a writer to utilize at once, it primitive, semi-poetic, material--idea of image--that, in the past, has had-to be worked up slowly and elaborately into conventional fiction form.
