GINSBERG, Allen (1926-1997). Autograph letter signed ("Allan"), to Istvan Eorsi. New York, New York, 11 May 1984. 4 pages, 8vo, 215 x 138 mm, on Harper & Row, Publishers Memorandum paper, Ginsberg's return address stamped on the first page, with original envelope.
GINSBERG DISCUSSES CONVERSATIONS WITH CZESLAW MILOSZ, AND OLD PHOTOGRAPHS OF KEROUAC AND BURROUGHS.
Ginsberg's wide-ranging letter to his friend and Hungarian translator, poet and playwright Istvan Eorsi (1931-2005) includes updates about work, foreign relations, and his photography. "I finished text + 75pps notes to Collected Poems - sent to the printer - I'll be back in NY in a month." He recalls a conversation with "Miloscz" (presumably CzesL‚aw MiL‚osz): "I spent a little time 2 weekends ago with Miloscz - wondering what to do re Central America. He & Squaretyki[?] (Czech) seem dubious about my non-neutral (anti U. S. involvement) stand. So we discussed that Central America dilemma - how not to create another Marxist police state."
Ginsberg inquires about Eorsi's recent play, and then discusses a project: "I am working on photography more, and hired a young friend to sort out my photos & negatives from 1945 -- thru the sixties -- and make enlargements of snapshots of Kerouac & Burroughs from those days 1949--1953--1963-- I seem to have had a consistent thread of awareness of seeing them as on earth one time only all along & the photos look fine." He concludes, "I am overworking."
