A distinguished pair of copies from the library of poet publisher and librettist Kenward Elmslie 1929-2022 who Berlin met in 1994 at Naropa where they were both visiting writers. "Berlin called it an "instant friendship." "We cut through right away into each other's deep feelings. It was like falling in love or going back to your childhood best friend in first grade that kind of really pure friendship" Love Loosha: The Letters of Lucia Berlin & Kenward Elmslie p.1. Her relationship with Elmslie would prove to be the most significant friendship during the last decade of her life resulting in hundreds of letters postcards and mail art exchanged between them. <br /> <br /> In a June 13 1999 letter Elmslie mentions the copy of Where I Live Now Berlin had sent him and was complimentary about her work: "Ron Padgett is reading Where I Live Now loaned downhill. He's tough and his advance word is: good stuff. Specific praise for the ending of the doc office cover-up tale "A Love Affair".The placement of the tales is I think masterful. Your Body of Work by now is so strong. Who else has a continuum of short fictions that hold up like - like Gang Busters.Your very own niche. In ancient times Kathy Mansfield. Dotty Parker. And Tru Capote" pp.66-67. Berlin would write him a month later ecstatic about Publisher's Weekly giving her book a rave review. He responded: "I'm so happy about your news - THE review.For some reason I'm afraid to articulate WHY I'm so drawn to your stories as if that'll entail proving I'm a really smart critic. Because I'm not. So it remains a private matter this strong feeling for your work connected to Chekhov that much I know and a blissful summer working on a libretto of The Seagull" pp.86-87. Throughout their decade-long correspondence they would critique each other's work and that of their contemporaries gossip and share the intimate details of their lives. Berlin wrote Elmslie faithfully right up until a month before she died in November 2004; at her funeral "Kenward was last to pay her tribute and he sung a capella a lyric he wrote for his play City Junket Lucia's favorite of his songs: "Who'll Prop Me Up in the Rain" p.321. We've traced fewer than a handful of association copies of Berlin's works in commerce and none reflecting this degree of intimacy. Black Sparrow Press unknown

I hope that you will achieve your aim and that Miss Sarah Watts together with the other contestants will be able to represent the County of Wiltshire at the 17th World Scout Jamboree in Korea next year." the block two and a half inches square 1 side A4 23 Belgrave Square London 15th November The Berlin Wall was a guarded concrete barrier that encircled West Berlin of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1961 to 1989 separating it from East Berlin. During the years of the Wall around 5000 people successfully defected to West Berlin. The number of people who died trying to cross the Wall or as a result of the Wall's existence has been disputed.
