SWENSON MAY: (1913-1989) American Poet & Playwright. T.L.S., May Swenson, one page, 4to, Sea Cliff, ...
SWENSON MAY: (1913-1989) American Poet & Playwright. T.L.S., May Swenson, one page, 4to, Sea Cliff, New York, n.d. (November 1970), to J. Duane Upton of The Space Age Museum in California. Swenson thanks her correspondent for his letter and news about the museum, adding that she has done a holograph version of On Its Way (still present) and continuing 'I'm pleased that you know my poetry and like it. ON ITS WAY is just a little poem about autumn - - yet I can see that it might be read as a Space Age poem as well - - expressive of a holocaust' and further suggesting fourteen of her other poems which are directly about space and appear in To Mix With Time (1963), Half Sun Half Asleep (1967) and Iconographs (1970) as well as First Walk On the Moon which she remarks will be published in an upcoming book More Poems to Solve. Together with a manuscript fair copy of On Its Way, one page, 4to, n.p. (New York), 1970, signed by Swenson at the foot, and also including a typed fair copy of the same poem, evidently prepared by Upton for the poet to sign, annotated by Swenson with two small corrections to the text and with an A.N.S. with her initials MS at the base, 'Note your typing errors in above copy'. Accompanied by the original envelope signed ('Swenson') in the return address panel. Some very light, extremely minor creasing, VG, 3
