![Hornick, Lita. (1927-2000) [Brainard, Joe. (1942-1994)] [Bidart, Frank. (b. 1939)] "To Elizabeth and Eleanor. Great Queens Who Loved Poetry" - Inscribed to Frank Bidart](http://www.schubertiademusic.com/cdn/shop/files/25398.jpg?v=1776972256)
Softcover. 4to. 74 pp. Inscribed to Frank Bidart by fellow poet Lloyd Schwartz, May 27, 1994, "For Frank - With love and thanks for introducing me to the work of Joe Brainard. From, Lloyd." A collaboration in poetry and art spearheaded by the great patron and critic Lita Hornick, founder of the Kulcher Foundation. Includes 4 illustrations by Joe Brainard. Fine.
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.
