About this Item

8vo. Stapled wrappers. [16pp.]. An uncommon offprint of an interview with Rakosi, this copy signed by him with an inscription to Andrew Crozier, 'my friend & resuscitator'. In the interview, Rakosi explains how he decided to start writing poetry again, after a lapse of over two decades, because of a letter he received from a young Crozier. 'He said that he had run across my name in an article by Rexroth, had looked up my work in magazines, and copied every single poem I had written. He had made a bibliography and wanted to know whether I had written any more. Well, the thought that somebody his age could care that much for my work really touched me; after all, there were two generations between us. And that's what started me.' Outwardly somewhat spotted and toned, creased to the upper corner, and the staples a little rusty internally.
