Writing for Her Life: the Novelist Mildred Walker
2003034424Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press. 2003. A biography of novelist Mildred Walker written by her daughter Ripley Hugo who was both the wife of poet Richard Hugo and a neighbor to poet and novelist James Welch and his wife Lois. This copy is inscribed by Ripley Hugo to the poets Dara Wier and James Tate: "For Dara for Jim - I wish you an odd read but someday to hear what you think of it. Hugs and kisses/ Ripley." Laid in is a note to Dara and Jim from Lois Welch: "For Dara & Jim - separate roofs one heart. I trust you'll like this perhaps because of Ripley's odd dedication. Much love Lois." Fine in a near fine dust jacket. A remarkable multiple literary association copy: Richard Hugo was a mentor to a generation of poets and other writers who came of age in the 1960s and 70s including James Welch; the Welches were longtime friends with Tate and Wier. Unless otherwise noted our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. University of Nebraska Press hardcover books
