<http://www.charlesagvent.com/agvent/images/pdfs/MeredithCatalog.pdf>*

*All 126 items in our new catalog are from the library of William 
Meredith with nearly all INSCRIBED to the poet. Writers include 
Vonnegut, Updike, Ginsberg, and many luminaries of poetry. William 
Meredith began writing while a student at Princeton University where he 
wrote a senior thesis on Robert Frost. His first volume of poetry, /LOVE 
LETTER FROM AN IMPOSSIBLE LAND/, was selected by Archibald MacLeish for 
the Yale Series of Younger Poets in 1944. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 
1988 for /PARTIAL ACCOUNTS: NEW AND SELECTED POEMS/ and a National Book 
Award in 1997 for /EFFORT AT SPEECH/. From 1978 to 1980, Meredith was 
Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, the position which in 
1985 became the Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of 
Congress, the first gay poet to receive this honor. He died in 2007 at 
the age of 88.
