ca. 1991. The two-page typescript of a speech by Tate introducing Charles Wright at an undetermined event, dated in ink, "June 3, 1991," and commenting on Wright's life, his writing, and the 26-year friendship between the two poets. Like Tate, Wright won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for poetry. Together with a review copy of Wright's book The World of the Ten Thousand Things [NY: FSG, 1990], with the publisher's promotional sheet laid in. With Tate's ownership signature and his pencil markings and one note in the text. Also together with two pages of Tate's holograph notes on the book, along with two typed pages of excerpts of Wright's poetry, presumably prepared by Tate, as one section is used by Tate in his speech. The typescript and the pages with Tate's work are folded in half to fit the book; the book is near fine in a near fine dust jacket. [#033313] SOLD
