Louis Gallo Letter
Autograph letter, signed, from Lou Gallo in North Arlington, New Jersey, to Richard Kostelanetz. Gallo sends Kostelanetz a copy of his 1966 book, 'Like you're nobody : the letters of Louis Gallo to Saul Bellow, 1961-1962,' to help the latter with background research for an essay on Bellow. Gallo expresses disdain for "the New York literary mob" but expects to "be a prominent literary figure before we're out of this century." He urges Kostelanetz to tune into his radio broadcast on New York's WBAI, which has garnered popular and academic praise: "I'll be going into competition with Buddha, Christ, Mohammed, Marx, and Freud--I'll be starting a new religion." Gallo also requests a free copy of Kostelanetz's essay when it comes out. The bottom of the letter's second page is covered with address labels and stamps advocating for charitable causes. Both pages have brief manuscript comments by Kostelanetz. 2 pages.

The primal tone of Gallo's poetry is cosmic melancholy tempered with bursts of Proustian privileged moments, the anti-voltage of nostalgia sweetened with the hope of wishbones, the sweetness of cupcakes. Reading this collection straight t...
Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing
"Louis Gallo's poems are always beautifully crafted yet accessible. They are savvy yet heartfelt, ironic but wistfully so."-Gail Howard, poetry editor, Thema Magazine "A writer of fiction (much of it hilarious) and essays both scholarly and personal (often the product of deep study), as well as a teacher who has opened the minds of generations of students, Louis Gallo is a poet of many dimensions..."-Ralph Adamo, editor The Xavier Review, author of Ever "...But reliant as he is on such colossi of often abstract, complex ideas, his poems first and foremost are always anchored with keen wit in the grit and gristle of a living world, one Gallo clearly finds both intoxicating and erotic..."-Randall R. Freisinger, author of Plato's Breath, winner of the May Swenson Poetry Prize, Utah State University Press Louis Gallo is the founding editor of the now-defunct journals, The Barataria Review and Books: A New Orleans Review.
