The portrait of a friendship expressed through James Schuyler's letters (1954-1958) to Frank OHara.

---

Pearl Without Price, First the worst: your five dollar check bounced. N'importe. I made it good, and you can pay me back when... the primroses come back to 49th Street. Poet Mark Ford has described the letters of James Schuyler as ';witty, graceful, sophisticated, and gossipy.' Particularly poignant are these Schuyler letters to fellow poet Frank O'Hara. Entertaining and transcendently poetic, they are the portrait of a friendship between two great New York School poets.
