Describing the writing of their poems, their travel and daily illnesses, the pyrotechnics of their romantic relationships, and the profound affection they had for each other, these missives are the most intimate record available of both poets and one of the greatest correspondences in American literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe playwright Sarah Ruhl fell in love with these letters and set herself an unusual challenge: to turn this thirty-year exchange into a stage play, and to bring to life the friendship of two writers who were rarely even in the same country. As innovative as it is moving, \u003ci\u003eDear Elizabeth\u003c\/i\u003e gives voice to a conversation that lived mostly in writing, illuminating some of the finest poems of the twentieth century and the minds that produced them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Ruhl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0865478155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780865478152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Sarah Ruhl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986745458943,"sku":"9780865478152","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6872996b-d148-49a4-9e01-ba7d71df58ee.jpg?v=1683284948","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dear-elizabeth-sarah-ruhl-9780865478152","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
