Eight items: six souvenir typescripts, each individual poem signed in ballpoint or felt tip by the Pulitzer Prize winning author. Signers are: Anne Sexton, Richard Wilbur, Richard Eberhart (with an ALS on the reverse), Phyllis McGinley, W. D. Snodgrass (ins), and Lisel Mueller; one ALS, one page signed “W. D. Snodgrass,” personal letterhead, “July 28 (more or less), 1971.” Snodgrass responds to a fan in part: “I enclosed the typed copy of my poem which I’ve signed to you…I don’t know what I could say about the poem—I’d rather you told me about it, frankly—I never trust what any writer says about his work. Me least of all…I’d trust a used car salesman first”; and a TLS, one page signed, “Anthony Hecht,” University of Rochester letterhead, no date. Hecht writes, in full: “I have been advised by my publishers not to sign such typed mss. of my original poems as you have sent me, because in the past they have been vended as original typescripts. As for the Pulitzer Prize, after the first delicious excitement of winning it, it generally turns out to mean more to others than to the recipient.” In fine condition, with some light soiling and creasing. Accompanied by the typescript Hecht refused to sign.
