abstract

{"value"=>"Kenneth Koch (1925-2002) was an American poet, playwright, essayist, screenwriter, novelist, and short-story writer. Kenneth Koch letters, 1961 and 1967, comprise his typed letter signed (2 pages) to \"Don,\" dated [1961] February 10 at 69 Perry Street, New York City, and his typed letter signed (1 page) to poet James Schuyler (\"Jimmy\"), dated Thursday at 278 West 4th Street, with envelope postmarked 1967 June 1. The letter to Schuyler at Southampton, Long Island, encloses their collaborative poem \"Titian Welds a Sculpture\" (typescript with pencilled comment, 1 page), and a \"mystery item,\" not present. The names James Schuyler & Kenneth Koch are typed below the poem's text. Koch's letter to Don discusses his work translating Haitian poetry and mentions his review of Frank O'Hara's poem \"Second Avenue,\" appearing in the Partisan Review in 1961. Based on Koch's remarks regarding payment for his poems in The New American Poetry 1945-1960, it is likely that the recipient was Donald M. Allen, editor of the anthology"}
