Emerson's letter (carbon of which accompanies this lot) discusses the state of poetry in 1950, a visit he had just made to William Carlos Williams (enclosing the transcript of their discussion, which is not present), and mentions Rexroth, Norman McLeod, Wallace Stevens, Patchen, Olson, and others. An interesting letter with boldly signed reply from Pound. |
