JAMES DICKEY
Copy of his free verse poem "The Cancer Match", signed with a rare version of
his signature: a distinctive flourish
Poem signed: "James Dickey", 1 page, 8½x11. This signature contains a
distinctive flourish not seen on most of his autographs. 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. Although he didn't have cancer, 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, like this piece, dealt with
sickness and death. Pencil note (unknown hand) at lower right corner and
verso. Otherwise fine condition.
