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)
