ROBERT PENN WARREN
(1905 - 1989) American poet, novelist, and literary critic and one of the founders of New Criticism. Awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and Literature. Fine content T.L.S. with holograph postscript, 1p. 4to., West Wardsboro, Vt., Aug. 26, 1965 to an English professor at Olivet College. In part: '...Of course, I know about Olivet. I was there for one of the summer shebangs, when my friend Joe Brewer was President -- the same summer as John Bishop, Sherwood Anderson, Allen Tate, Caroline Gordon, Gelnway Westcott and Katherine Anne Porter. That was July 1940...I might do a formal lecture on the state of poetry now at the end of the Pound-Eliot, Yeats era...or some readings of my own poems...I am in the midst of one of [my] jags of poetry-writing, and at the same time putting together a Selected Poems...I don't want to make a public lecture on the 'Negro question' -- and have been refusing such invitations...I have written two books about it -- but I don't want to set up as a pundit or prophet...' He adds in his postscript: 'I appreciate your remarks about my works...' Folds, else very good. In the same year, 1965, Warren published 'Who Speaks for the Negro?', a collection of interviews with black civil rights leaders including Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.
