KARL SHAPIRO
Signed copy of Shapiro's poem The Jewish Problem
Typed poem signed "Karl Shapiro". 1 page,8 ½ x 11. This is an
eleven-stanza poem from Shapiro entitled The Jewish Problem. Shapiro
(1913-2000) was an American poet who published his first collection,
Poems in 1935 and his last, The Wild Card, in 1998. He wrote
several volumes of poetry while serving in the United States Army Medical Corps,
winning a Pulitzer Prize for Essay on Rime in 1945 while in uniform
and serving in the South Pacific. Although he taught for most of his
life, he condemned domination of American poetry by tradition-bound
academics. Termed "the bourgeois poet" by a hostile critic, he embraced the
term, using it as a title for his 1964 book. Before his death Shapiro completed
two volumes of a projected 3-volume autobiography. Lightly toned. Light crease
in upper left corner. Otherwise in fine condition.
