Arrows of Longing: The Correspondence Between Anais Nin and Felix Pollak, 1952-1976

What was to blossom into 25 years of previously unpublished correspondence began in 1951, between a discouraged Nin (unable to publish A Spy in the House ) and an emigre poet and rare books librarian at Northwestern University. Despite intimacies shared in over 200 letters, they only meet once. Mason (English, Gustavus Adolphus College; Saint Peter, MN) provides context, Pollak's poems, and handwriting samples.
