STEPHEN VINCENT BENÉT
The poet sends direction as to where to find his poem titled 'Difference'
TLS: "Stephen Vincent Benét", 1p, 7x10¼. New York City, no date. On his personal
letterhead (the poet has added an accent mark to Benet) to Mr. Savage. In full: "The poem
you speak of is called 'Difference' and is included in 'Ballads and Poems--1915-1930'. It's much
easier to read there than it would be in my illegible handwriting." Stephen Vincent Benét
(1898-1943) is best known for his narrative poem, John Brown's Body (Pulitzer Prize,
1929), and his short story, The Devil and Daniel Webster. His narrative poem about
westward migration, Western Star, was unfinished when he died. Published posthumously in
1943, it received the 1944 Pulitzer Prize. Folds, vertical folds touch the "V" in Vincent and the
"n" in Benét. ¼-inch separation at upper margin at mid-vertical fold. Mounting remnants on
verso (light show through at upper margin).
