W.D. Snodgrass correspondence with Louis Untermeyer, 1960-1961.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647769011

Topics include Snodgrass's reaction upon receiving the Pulitzer Prize award for his poetry collection Hear'ts Needle ("Two years ago I could scarcely find a job; right now I am trailing offers as thick as barnacles!"); and Untermeyer's request to include some of Snodgrass's poems in a revised edition of Modern American Poetry. Snodgrass also explains why he has used the pseudonym S.S. Gardons for some of his poems (" ... all those poems are about my sister's death and her relation to my parents, who are still alive. The poems would be very damaging to them ... ").
