-
It is well known that Allen Ginsberg first encountered Carl Solomon (to whom he would dedicate Howl) at the Columbia Presbyterian Psychiatric Institute; it is perhaps less understood that Gerd Stern had already been admitted and had befriended Carl prior to Allen's arrival. Later, Solomon, who was working for his uncle A.A. Wynn at Ace Books, helped publish Jaime de Angulo's Indian Tales at Stern's urging. Solomon also arranged for William Burroughs' Junkie to come out on Ace. There are only a few relatively insubstantial letters here, but they do mention Rexroth (re: Carco translations), Lamantia, and others, and there is also a 1963 letter to Ted Wilentz re: Carl's address (replied by Mimi Jacobsen) and a 1990 letter from Don Kennison of Paragon House originally accompanying a book of Solomon's.
