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
