DELMORE SCHWARTZ: from his glorification as the golden boy of the
American literary scene to his untimely death in 1966, alone and
destitute. JAMES LAUGHLIN: founder of New Directions, publisher and
editor of the modernists. This collection chronicles a
correspondence that began with the poet's first unsolicited
submission to New Directions in 1937, and continued throughout the
tempestuous friendship that lasted until the poet's death. The
relationship that developed between them was both literary, steeped
in their own work and that of their contemporaries, and personal:
gifted storytellers, they delighted each other with factual and
fictional observations. The two remained friends and colleagues
until the mental illness that eventually claimed him began to
destroy Schwartz's ability to trust even those closest to him. Here
follows the highs and lows of a relationship between two
extraordinary personalities.
