1962-1977. Eight pieces of correspondence to his publisher from MacLeish, three time Pulitzer Prize winner (two for Poetry, one for Drama); National Book Award winner; Tony Award Winner; Librarian of Congress; and the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. There are a total of four typed notes signed (although one is apparently signed by a secretary); two autograph postcards signed; one typed letter signed; and one typed blurb signed, with an autograph note signed below. The file begins with MacLeish submitting the certificate of copyright (not present) for his poem read at the Lincoln Memorial on the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation. The middle group of letters concern poetry selections, the poem order, and the index for his volume of Collected Poems. In 1976, MacLeish submits lengthy praise for A. Poulin's translation of Rilke's Duino Elegies. With the final postcard here, MacLeish reports his progress on, apparently, his collection of essays and autobiographical writings Riders on the Earth. There are several retained copies of letters to MacLeish, and one author photo. Apart from the publisher's notations on one of the notes; the lot is fine. A nice grouping of correspondence with good literary content by one of the leading American men of letters of the 20th century. [#036712] $1,500
