Item #325220

Three letters written by Gerard Malanga care of Andy Warhol at the first Factory location at 231 East 47th Street, regarding a loan of the Warhol film Vinyl, starring Malanga, for an anti-war benefit in San Francisco. David Schaff was active and well-connected in the San Francisco poetry scene of the late 1960s, and editor of the poetry journal Cassiopeia, which later became Ephemeris. In this correspondence Malanga uses the opportunity to ask Schaff if he might have any sway at the Yale Literary Magazine, to whom Malanga has submitted some poems.
