A postcard to the Harps inviting them to a reception in honor of the book is laid in. The book is signed below the inscription by E. J. Ballantine, an actor and sculptor with whom Rainer lived in London. Ballantine was the father of Ian Ballantine, the founder of Bantam Books and of Ballantine Books, which published an extract from Rainer's novella "A Room at the Inn".Dachine Rainer [1921-2000] "was an American-born Anglophile poet, an anarchist with a house in Belgravia [London], and friends with W. H. Auden, Ezra Pound, e.e. cummings and Dame Rebecca West". In the early 1950s, she and cummings were instrumental in the formation of the Committee for the Liberation of Ezra Pound, who had supported Fascist ideas in Italy during the war and was arrested and tried for treason. "During this time Dachine Rainer loudly defended Pound's reputation as a man and as a poet, although her own political views were very different to his. She was a lifelong anarchist who believed that the state interfered too much in people's lives and that it should be abolished. She envisioned mankind living in harmony with nature, a theme evident in her poems, which were influenced by German romantic writers and by Yeats, as well as by Pound himself.From 1946 until 1960, Dachine Rainer.edited the quarterly magazine Retort, which was hand-produced by herself and Holley Cantine, a writer with whom she was then living. Like the newspaper that they ran, The Wasp, this was dedicated to the politics of the Left and the arts. The pair also edited 'Prison Etiquette' (1950), a volume of writings by conscientious objectors who had been jailed." [Both Cantine and Rainer had been confined in a federal prison as conscientious objectors during World War II]."Her first [full-length] novel was 'The Uncomfortable Inn' (1960), a picaresque, semi-autobiographical tale that revolved about an odd collection of lodgers living in Greenwich Village. It was reviewed in Britain by Rebecca West, who chose it as her favorite first novel of the year, and the two women subsequently became firm friends." [Quotations from the obituary in The Daily Telegraph of September 8, 2000].

Zustand: Very Good. New York City; Bearsville, NY; Kingston, NY: 1943-1960. Archive of approximately forty pieces of correspondence between Dachine Rainer, Holley Cantine, and Jackson Mac Low. The majority of correspondence occurs between 1946 and 1955. Combination of handwritten and typewritten letters and postcards; several on Retort stationary. Some letters from Mac Low are duplicated as handwritten drafts and annotated typewritten manuscripts. Much toning and creasing. Very Good. From 1946 to 1960, Rainer and Cantine co-habitated and co-edited Retort, an anarchist quarterly magazine notable for its early publication of writers such as Kenneth Patchen, Saul Bellow, and Robert Duncan. From his self-built home in Bearsville, NY, Cantine set, printed, and bound the publication by hand. Though a writer in her own right, Rainer saw middling success during her lifetime. She is memorialized instead as a peer and correspondent of such authors as W.H. Auden, Rebecca West, and Ezra Pound (who she refers to as "ole Ez" in this archive). The great majority of the letters compiled here are addressed to Jackson Mac Low, a founding member of Fluxus art, an influential participant in Language poetry, and a regular contributor to Retort. Several of these letters solicit music reviews from, though just as many inform him that his work was not included, or had to be significantly shortened, for publication. He complains to Cantine in November 1946 that "the lack of space precluded really serious analyses" and volunteers advice for narrowing the magazine's margins in order to accommodate his work. While much of the communication in this collection is professional, there is an apparent familiarity between the letter-writers. Amidst more mundane exchanges about health and homebuying, one uncovers a dispute between Mac Low and his conjoint correspondents. Rainer and Cantine evidently allowed Mac Low to reside in the Bearsville house for a period. (A few letters detail instructions for maintenance: turning on the water pipes, purchasing coal in nearby Woodstock, and dealing with trespassers - "please use the rifle on the wall in the printshop.") When the pair returned, however, they discovered a mess so extreme that Cantine questioned Mac Low, "what did you use the towels for, anyhow?" Rainer expressed similar outrage at their guest's "violations of our privacy, time, and personal possessions" in a March 1948 letter. The trio's communication slows during this period, though their exchanges eventually resume with regularity and warmth. Alongside interpersonal communication between writers, this collection provides insight into the state of the independent American press during the late 1940s and 1950s - other independent publications referenced throughout correspondence include Cleaners' Press of Galveston, TX and Libertarian Press of Glen Gardner, NJ. Contents include three typewritten letters in envelopes; four handwritten letters in envelopes; eighteen typewritten letters without envelopes; seven handwritten letters without envelopes; three typewritten postcards; one illustrated holiday card; one Notice to Consignee of Goods on Hand; and one sealed, seemingly empty, hand-addressed envelope.

Zustand: Very Good. [St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington, DC]: 1950. Single page autograph letter signed from Ezra Pound to fellow poet Dachine Rainer, dated May Day and reading "Dear Dachine / Tell Jxn Mc there is less melodic dead wood in greek. / & for him to see Sekakes." To the verso is Rainer's typewritten note to Jackson Mac Low noting the letter "from ole ez" and remarking, "who is Sekakes? that's a wunnerful image: melody in dead wood," before continuing on to personal and literary matters. Mail folds; age toning; Very Good; no envelope. Two intriguing letters linking the three poets while Pound was in the DC Mental Hospital following his descent into anti-semitism, espousal of fascist views, and eventual commitment to St. Elizabeth's after being declared unfit to stand trial for treason. Pound influence on the literary world however was on display upon his release in 1958. A member of the campaign, Robert Frost, wrote at the time "I feel authorized to speak very specially for my friends, Archibald MacLeish, Ernest Hemingway and T. S. Eliot. None of us can bear the disgrace of letting Ezra Pound come to an end where he is.". Signed.
