Letter to Leroy Hart Bibbs January 1994

Resource added
55 bis, bd du Montparnasse 75006 PARIS 14 January 1994 Dear Bibbs Hart Leroy, my friend, thanks a million for taking the time to spend more than a few min- utes at my poetry reading at The Village Voice on Tuesday. After you left, the show went on very well, and parts of the audience came forth to say good woods and spend good money after I relaxed into the chair. (Brought eleven books, took back home three, having disposed of three copies of the fat guy, Whole Grain.) I decided, near the end of my offerings, to try out my "jazz haiku" on the folks. They liked them, especially "Satchmo and the Duke," "Jazzanet- omy," and "Jazznews." Thanks very much for the nicely autographed holiday jazzbook, L'épopéo du jazz, with its fine photos, including your fouratthestartinB&W, and its instructive text, which I have only begun to sample. Beautiful book, this #2, Au-delà du bop. As soon as I get rid of all the various tasks stacked in piles on my floor, I'll return to poetry. I have one on the fire now, of course. I hope that your own front burners are paying their way. Ciao for now, Jim Emanuel
