[Rarebooks] FS: Fine Barry Lopez Letter to W. S. Merwin

[Charles Agvent]

LOPEZ, Barry Holstun. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS) to poet W. S. Merwin. 
Finn Rock, OR, 6 July 1979. Fine one-page, single-spaced TYPED LETTER of 
@250 words SIGNED as "Barry." Lopez congratulates Merwin on winning the 
Bollingen Prize and then launches into a newsy account of his book tour 
for OF WOLVES AND MEN: "I could not have been treated better by 
Scribner's as far as a focus on the book and not on me was concerned." 
He then discusses his work at hand: "I'm pleased with RIVER NOTES, the 
second book in the trilogy that began with DESERT NOTES. I wanted the 
link between the two books to be clear, but for them to be as different 
as the landscapes from which they derive in their structure and 
incident, and am satisfied that they are." Normal mailing folds. Fine 
with hand-addressed envelope. (#014010)        $500.00
