No Binding. Condizione: Very Good. The poet Kenneth Patchen became an invalid after an accident during back surgery in 1959. His wife took care of most of his correspondence afterwards, so he could focus his energy on writing and painting. This correspondence with the blues musician David "Tony" or "Little Sun" Glover consists of over 50 letters and postcards. It began late in 1962 when Miriam responds to a fan letter to Patchen from Glover, then in Minnesota, with a postcard (of a Patchen painting-poem). She explains "the physical effort of writing even a note is a bit beyond his ability - thus this sorry stand-in job." A year later Glover and his wife had moved to San Leandro, about 30 miles from the Patchens in Palo Alto, and the two couples evidently met and became friends. The correspondence then became frequent in 1964, as Miriam encourages Glover's interest in writing an article and possibly a book about Kenneth, sending him research materials (much of which she later requested and got back for sale to a university). This resulted in Glover's essay "Kenneth Patchen, the Horror and the Hope." Many of the letters are written on stationery and envelopes hand-painted by Kenneth. Miriam provides a lot of information about her husband's health, lamenting the difficulty of getting doctors to treat him "since we sued the doctor who destroyed Kenneth," with occasional comments on the poet s influence and publishing efforts. She frequently praises the music of Glover [who was performing and recording on harmonica at the time with Koerner, Ray and Glover, a blues group central to the folk music revival of the 1960s] and the records he has sent them. By March of 1964, Glover having suffered both health and financial difficulties, Miriam supplies treatment advice and money (later acknowledged as repaid) as the couple was forced to move back to Minnesota. The correspondence continues at a regular, more or less monthly pace through early 1966, then diminishes greatly, the last a holiday greeting card dated December of 1969. In addition to the letters, there are: a typescript of Glover's article on Patchen, unused Patchen postcards, promotional material for Patchen publications, a card index of Patchen materials, Glover's research notes, and a 3 3/4 ips reel-to-reel recording of a Miriam letter telling of medical and doctor hassles with note concluding "we're still being murdered.".
