21262A V-Mail Victory Mail letter. San Francisco. February 1944. An interesting communication from one noted twentieth-century English-language poet to another and of additional significance as a V-Letter written in the year of publication of Shapiro's first successful collection the Pulitzer Prize winning 'V-Letter and Other Poems' 1944. See Diederik Oostdijk 'The Wartime Success of Karl Shapiro's V-Letter' 2006. The present item is a V-Mail Victory Mail letter: a 13.5 x 11 cm photograph print of an autograph letter bearing the censor's stamp. At the time of writing Shapiro was on active service. In fair condition lightly aged and folded once. The V-mail process would have ensured that the original letter was destroyed: the present document is therefore the only surviving version of the text. Addressed to 'Mr George Barker c/o New Directions Norfolk Connecticut U.S.A.' Dated February 1944. The address is in parts hard to read: 'Sgt. Karl Shapiro 33006969 13th Port. Sang. Hosp. APD 928 c/o Pan San Francisco'. Shapiro begins the letter: 'Dear Mr. Barker. The letter I wrote you several days ago – if you have received it – must have seemed rather wild and whirling.' He feels that he should tell Barker that he was 'recovering from a malaria attack at the time' and that his 'thoughts were disarranged' and his 'perspective abnormal'. Now that he is better he would like to say 'in sober language that the Elegies Rilke's Duino Elegies are a boon to us who are readers and writers and do me a a bucket of cold water in the face'. 'War Poetry' on the other hand has been 'a deadly disappointment' to Shapiro: 'all ex post facto experience and birds on singing-trees'. It seems to him that Barker alone has 'escaped the bogs of Language and Fame but more than that. Rilke's task of not-understanding the other war although not evasion was inapplicable to the soldier's case.' Barker has 'earned his way to the heart of the war – like the Four Hundred'. The letter concludes: 'I merely want to add my praise to all those other praises you have won.' A V-Mail [Victory Mail] letter. San Francisco. February 1944. unknown

Internally fine and bright with excellent plate impressions. Hoover 425. Bleiler Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1114 of "international importance". Gove pp. 303-305; Stammhammer II p. 171. Brunet III 260. Originally published in 1741 this highly imaginative Swiftian journey to a fifth underground continent is set in the Norwegian town of Bergen where a penniless student visits a strange cave falls into a void and ends up on the subterranean planet Nazar which is inhabited by sentient monkeys thinking trees goat philosophers and double basses that communicate musically. According to Lewis Utopian Literature p. 92 Niels Klim is the first important fictional use of the astronomer Edmond Haley's theory suggested in a paper published by the Royal Society in 1692 that three concentric hollow balls nested inside the earth account for the magnetism of the poles through their movement and that openings at the poles provide access to hidden worlds through a series of caves. Nor was Haley alone: from the 1600s to the early 1900s the notion of a hollow earth was treated seriously by leading scientists including Johannes Kepler and Athanasius Kircher. N. B.
