When Poets Clash: TS Eliot & Emanuel Litvinoff

This obituary from the NYTimes is well worth reading for the drama. Litvinoff's reading of his anti-Eliot poem in the unexpected presence of Eliot, and the reactions--this is the sort of story made for retelling. As to T. S. Eliot and anti-Semitism, this article by Russell Kirk mentions one instance in which Eliot's publishing career was affected by this charge, a charge that was the reason for Litvinoff's poetic attack.
