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.
