- Title:
- Lee Harwood: Letters Received (Benveniste, Asa)
- Scope & Content:
-
14 communications from Benveniste (and 1 copy letter from Harwood) regarding the publication of Harwood's volume of translations: Tristan Tzara:Selected Poems (Trigram Press, 1975). The letters indicate that Benveniste was also keen to publish Harwood's collection H.M.S. Little Fox (Oasis Books, 1975), although financial constraints compelled him to return the manuscript (see letter dated 14 November 1975). A number of the letters have brief annotations by Harwood, recording the gist of his replies.
