Description
The papers of Delmore Schwartz were fortuitously located, through a barroom conversation that led to their rescue by Dwight Macdonald, several years after the poet's death in 1966. These journals and notes, now at Yale, provide a brilliant self-portrait of the poet, showing his creative genius at work.
Excerpt
The gift is loved but not the gifted one.
The coat of many colors is much admired
By everyone, but he who wears the coat
Is not made warm.
