JAMES DICKEY
Unsigned Autograph Note to a teacher, pleading illness as the cause of a slow
response
Autograph Note unsigned, ¼p, 8½x11. Written at bottom of a note dated 1994
August 8, from a teacher requesting that he autograph some materials [which are
not included here]. In full: "Very sorry for the Slow response, I've
been very ill." James Dickey (1923-1997) worked in advertising for Coca Cola
and Frito-Lay's before publishing his first book of poetry in 1960. His 1965
collection, Buckdancer's Choice, won the National Book Award, and he was
appointed Poet Laureate of the Library of Congress the following year.
Despite his distinguished career as a poet, Dickey is perhaps best known for
his 1970 novel, Deliverance, for which he also wrote the
screenplay of the 1972 Oscar-nominated film. Dickey suffered from
alcoholism and many other afflictions in his later years and was in and out of
hospitals, so much of his later poetry dealt with sickness and death.
Lightly creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
