AUDEN
(Wystan Hugh, 1907-1973, British born American Poet)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed 'Wystan Auden', to Mr. [Branko] Brusar,
saying that he had thrown "away the envelope of your letter and then found that you had not put the address on the letter itself ... I'm a little worried as I haven't received the new Šop poems. Where were they sent to? Struga was quite fun. The mistake they make is in inviting too many poets. We have a yearly International Poetry Festival in London, which lasts for three evenings. We invite about ten poets (one year Pope was one) so that each gets a chance to present a fair sample of his work. At Struga there were about 250! Congratulation on your new job. So far as I can gather, there is in your country, thank God, no Party line in literature ...", 1 side folio, 3062 Kirchstetten, Austria, 1st October no year
