description: "The papers of Delmore Schwartz were fortuitously located, through a barroom conversation that led to their rescue by Dwight Macdonald, several years after the poet's death in 1966. These journals and notes, now at Yale, provide a brilliant self-portrait of the poet, showing his creative genius at work."
