GINSBERG, Allen. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS) to Doris Grumbach with 
her SIGNED Copy of GINSBERG. A BIOGRAPHY by Barry Miles. New York, 12 
March 1988. First Edition. A two-page handwritten letter on separate 
sheets SIGNED by Ginsberg to the writer Doris Grumbach asking for her 
assistance in getting one of his students, Brian Jackson, into the Iowa 
Writer's Workshop where she was a teacher at the time. The letter is 
tucked into a First Edition of Barry Miles's biography of Ginsberg, 
SIGNED by Grumbach at the bottom of the front endpaper. The letter 
begins: "An excellent student of mine, Corso's, Burroughs' & Anne 
Waldman's at Naropa several years ago went on to get his BA in Classics 
inspired by his study of Pound, & continued some postgraduate Greek & 
Latin.... Jackson is a remarkable scholar poet and extraordinarily 
active person -- he worked as Gregory Corso's unpaid secretary, as 
studious friend, classic disciple with good manners -- for several years 
& was my T.A. often at Naropa." But for the mailing folds the letter is 
Fine with very dark and clear writing. The book is Near Fine in a Near 
Fine dustwrapper. (#019279) $1,000
