ASIMOV Isaac 1920 1992; CIARDI JohnABAA

Handwritten postscript signed "Isaac" on Ciardi's letter

1972265908Middlebury College Vermont 1972. unbound. 2 pages 11 x 8.5 inches Middlebury College Vermont August 27 1972. Written on a letter sent by his friend John Ciardi 1916 - 1986 acclaimed poet and etymologist to his wife Janet Jeppson Asimov whereby the poet jokingly compares Isaac's behavior at a Bird Watchers Conference to that of new species of a promiscuous bird in part: ".It seems only fair to tell you that the Conference Bird Watchers Club has compiled a series of exhausted reports on the "Isaacanary" and concluded that you are an endangered species. The "Isaacanary" has taken like the Cow Bird to laying her eggs in the nests of other birds. I will not enclose the 42 petitions we have received from the ladies of the Conference. They are for the archives. I will satisfy myself here by pointing out that all of them begin with 'Help!' 'Mayday' or 'S.O.S.' I speak only out of disinterested concern for the good of the conference when I say you must never let this bird come to any Conference unattended. When you fly supervisory.he comes recommended and atoned for. When he is alone every one spends all day picking egg yolk off the scalp. He has even flirted with me - mostly by way of practice to be sure - and who can tolerate that when he could be flirting with you and not for any damn practice This here "Isaacanary" I assure you is no substitute for the Love Bird." At some point John Ciardi requested that Isaac Asimov mail this letter to his wife Janet of which he complied but not before adding: "Dear Janet: Big John insists I mail this illiterate effusion. Please understand that when he says I 'lay eggs' he means I flirt and get nowhere. I am the laughing stock of the Conference." Horizontal folds; fine condition.<br/><br/> Iconic American author and biochemist best known for his works of Science Fiction and Popular Science.<br/><br/> unknown books
