5251ISAAC B. SINGER 1903-1991. Singer was a Noble Prize-winning Polish-American writer and proponent of the Yiddish Literary Movement. TLS. 1pg. June 9 1970. New York. A typed letter signed “Isaac B. Singerâ€. On his personal letterhead the Nobel Prize-winning writer evaluates works sent to him by aspiring poet Celia Lustgarden. “Dear Friend Celia Lustgarden I just came back from France and this is the first chance I had to look at your poems. They are written in a very intimate tone. I like best the poem where you follow the wrong man being mistaken about the back of his head. I cannot tell you what to do with them because there are so many poets and so few magazines which publish poetry. As in many other cases the supply is greater than the demand. I hope you have a good summer. With my very best regards Isaac B. Singerâ€. It’s unclear what happened to Lustgarden and her poetry after receiving Singer’s rather unhelpful letter but Google does return search results for a published poet named Celia S. Lustgarten currently living in New York. It’s unclear if this is the same person. The letter is in fine condition. unknown books
