Miscellaneous

The James A. Emanuel Project’s Miscellaneous Collection contains eleven items that fall into four categories—early life, military, travel, and publicity. These items reveal an important part of Emanuel’s story and show details that may otherwise be obscure. For instance, Emanuel’s “Drawing of the U.S. Deputy Marshall” connects Emanuel to viewers to his early life in Nebraska and his appreciation for life and culture in the West.

ALLIANCE IS BUSY ON 2 BIG PROJECTS By JAMES EMANUEL 412 E. 4th St., Alliance, Neb Alliance is going places! The excavation for the city hall was completed some time ago. That building is going to be a peach when it is finished. It will benefit all Alliance and give men jobs. The city hall will serve as a hall for many forms of entertainment, and will be an adornment to the city. Another project coming up soon is the replacing of our present standpipe by one which will provide a new and better water supply for Alliance. From the new standpipe, water will be piped to houses in Alliance. Alliance, if the present advance continues, will be an important and progressive city. Good for James. He has civic pride, and an eye for news. He gets a dollar. Let’s have some more hometown news.

Comments (usable in publicity) on James A. Emanuel’s poetry: “In the annals of American poetry it is difficult to conceive of a more neglected great poet than James A. Emanuel” (Daniel E. Scheider, “The Not So Strange Emanuel Case,” Internet essay, March 6, 2001, www. Cosmoetica.com/S1-DES1.htm, else- where adding “for my money THE most neglected published poet of the 20th Century.” “Emanuel is a GREAT POET-period.” (Schneider, same essay, p. 4) “Un poète de premier order ....Indubitablement, Emanuel a dèja plus d’un pied sur la terre -pro- Mise.” (Michel Fabre, rev. of The Force and the Reckoning in AFRAM Review, June 2001) “I love [italics his] your work, and look forward to reading more.” (Ltr from Henry Louis Gates, 1995) With “a grand irony,” Emanual writes “direct- experience poetry,” beautiful poems, but also poems “short and violent like sort of a rifle shot.” (“Panorama” program, France Culture Ra- dio, 3 Sept. 1992) “Dr. Emanuel, a pioneer in the study of black li- terature and a critically acclaimed poet, is a living link to past expatriates, says Princeton University literary scholar Arnold Rampersad .... There were no courses in African American liter- ature when Emanuel started out .... He researched everything from the original texts. Dr. Emanuel managed to publish an error-free volume on [Lang- ston] Hughes. My book had mistakes .... His didn’t.” (Toni Y. Joseph, One Voice, 1994, pp. 144-45) “It is high time for James A. Emanuel, one of our finest and most adventurous poets, to receive his due acclaim. ... to be heard round the world.” (X.J. Kennedy, cover of The Force and the Reckoning.) The Force and the Reckoning “is splendid and original achievement. I know of know similar book.” (Michel Fabre, cover of this book) Naomi on JAZZ (ltr 19.04.2000), herein.
