1982-1983. A photocopy of an 11-page author questionnaire Hampl completed in 1982, after publication of her memoir A Romantic Education and just prior to publication of Resort and Other Poems, in which she speaks about "Resort" as a "long meditative poem," "an account of a retreat," with themes of "loneliness vs. solitude." When she submits a list of nine people who might comment on the book if sent galleys, Hampl also notes her reasons, from "know personally" (Philip Levine, Sandra McPherson, and Thomas McGrath), to those she has met (Adrienne Rich, Gerald Stern), to those she simply admires (Carolyn Forche, Linda Gregg, Mona VanDuyn, William Stafford, Galway Kinnell). In a 1983 typed letter signed, she submits information for the acknowledgments page (not included), and mentions that the cover of "A Rom Ed" is growing on her, perhaps referring to a later edition, as she mentions a new typeface. Hampl's publicity photo for A Romantic Education is also included. The lot is near fine. [#036703] $350
