From the end of the 1950s through the middle of the 1960s, Amiri Baraka (b. 1934) and Edward Dorn (1929-99), two self-consciously avant-garde poets, fostered an intense friendship primarily through correspondence. Their letters offer a vivid picture of American lives connecting around poetry during a tumultuous time of change and immense creativity.
