Miller, Joaquin:

$300 · Offered by William Reese Company

[AUTOGRAPH LETTER, SIGNED, ABOUT "SAPPHO & PHAON"]. Miller writes an unspecified but likely very close friend, addressed as "Heart of my heart Soul of my soul...I toss a book into your lap. Your book Sappho & Phaon. It is, as the papers in SF say... the best and strongest of all my work. Will you read your Sappho & Phaon now? It is revised, longer, stronger. I go to Alaska the 19th of June. Some you will go with me. We may find Lost Eden. Anyway read my 'Sappho'. You are my Sappho. Come and let me at last be your Phaon. Your Joaquin Miller." "Sappho and Phaon," one of Miller's most ambitious verse undertakings, was collected in SONGS OF THE SOUL, published within a week of this letter and surely his reference is to that book.
