One of Brainard’s most frequent collaborators was his longtime partner, the writer Kenward Elmslie.

In 1973 Elmslie began work as editor and publisher of Z Magazine and Z Press, working to promote the work of other New York School artists such as John Ashbery, Ron Padgett, James Schuyler, and perhaps most extensively, Joe Brainard. Elmslie s work with graphic artists such as Brainard combined poetry with art to emphasize their interconnectedness; his work in theatre demonstrates his commitment to art as a whole, not only to one medium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eFrom 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62660987453599,"sku":"25404","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Elmslie25404a.jpg?v=1776966733"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/collections\/joe-brainard-frank-bidart-collection.oembed","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
