Phil Whalen

It’s worth reprinting the following note for any readers not on one of the listservs to which Michael Rothenberg has sent this missive. When one realizes how many “lost” poems of Jack Spicer’s have turned up since the 1975 Collected Books, it seems likely that there must be some of Phil Whalen’s tucked away in people’s correspondence files. If you might have one, take a look. If you do have one, let Michael know. Readers who aren’t even born yet will be grateful forever.

Dear Everyone,

I am working on the Complete Collected Poems of Philip Whalen and nearly done with the job. I would appreciate it if any of you, or your friends have poems by Philip Whalen from small magazines, mimeos, letters, that you think have never been published, please let me know by e-mail, and send me a photo copy at: Michael Rothenberg, 1914 Pierce St., Hollywood, FL 33020. I would appreciate any help you can give.

Best regards,

Michael
