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. (#006640) $1,500.00
