LEVINE, Philip. ARCHIVE OF 4 AUTOGRAPH LETTERS SIGNED (ALSs) and 1
TYPED  LETTER SIGNED (TLS). Barcelona & Fresno: 1966 & [1970]. A  fine
grouping  totaling six pages, written mostly before the publication of
his  first trade book in 1968, to editors of a literary magazine  both
as  a  contributor and as a subscriber. In one letter he  resists  the
editor's  request to change a poem's title on three grounds, the third
being  "even  if  I  liked  the title I'd  resist  on  some  undefined
hostility  towards  suggestions  from people I haven't  known  for  10
years....  I  subscribe  to every magazine that asks. At  least  for a
year.  I would hate to feel that there was a good magazine & I let  it
down." Near Fine                                              $1500.00
