Item description from seller

First Edition Stated. Association Copy. SIGNED by author on half-title page. Also includes a laid-in TLS from the author. The letter is dated August 12, 1964 and addressed to Willis Barnstone. Elizabeth Bartlett is graciously requesting that Barnstone might review her "first 'respectable' book" that was published earlier that year. She also mentions her recent feature in the "'Poets' Column' of the N.Y. Times Sunday Book Review Section of July 12th," and her recent appointment as the new poetry editor of Dr. Samuel Ichiye Hayakawa's magazine ETC. Condition: Very Good. Octavo. In original paper wrappers with some foxing and staining to all sides, however all text is legible. Foxing to textblock edges and TLS. Small ink stains on fore-edge and half-title page. Willis Barnstone shared a lifelong friendship with Elizabeth Bartlett and her husband Paul Alexander Bartlett as three acclaimed American artists. In 2006, Willis Barnstone was asked to write the foreword to Paul's acclaimed historical novel Sappho's Journal, yet this item is a testament to the longevity of his close relationship to the Bartlett couple. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall.…
