![[Brainard, Joe. (1942-1994)] Archive Newsletter: New Writing Series, Winter 1987 - Brainard Exhibit Catalogue and Reading Program](http://www.schubertiademusic.com/cdn/shop/files/Brainard25833.jpg?v=1776960981)
Archive Newsletter, published tri-quarterly by The Archive for New Poetry. 45 pp. Issue dedicated largely to the exhibition at the Mandeville Dept. of Special Collections of Brainard's work, and information on readings by poets associated with Brainard, including the first, being a reading by Brainard himself with Bill Berkson.
From the collection of Frank Bidart, who received the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, the Griffin Poetry Prize Lifetime Recognition Award, and the 2017 National Book Award for Poetry for his book Half-light: Collected Poems 1965–2016. Perhaps Bidart's most celebrated poem, "The Second Hour of the Night," is partly based on his relationship with Brainard. "The relationship was," as Bidart has said, both "more than friendship and less than a romance." His "In Memory of Joe Brainard" is a profound elegy for his friend who died of AIDS-induced pneumonia in 1994.
