[Rarebooks] FS: 1987 Letter from Richard Wilbur to Editor

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

Good 1987 Letter from Richard Wilbur to Key West Review Editor William 
Schlicht.

A double-sided typewritten letter dated May 7, 1987 to William Schlicht, 
editor of the Key West Review- Wilbur begins by saying that his serious 
poems have not been finishing themselves lately and he has nothing new 
at the moment but a few things for children or amusable adults, which he 
sends for Schlicht to look at; talks about his new book, “Opposites”, 
and possible a sequel; and finishes by complaining about the Review only 
paying in contributor’s copies & describing this as “the general policy 
of literary journals” which, Wilbur asserts, it is not, suggesting that 
it is the principle of paying something, even if only $5, that writers 
most appreciate, rather than the amount. Great content.

Single sheet on Richard Wilbur’s stationary, typed both sides and signed 
“Dick Wilbur”.  [43286]  $250
