Lotus Press letter from New American Writing, Inc.,
6 October 1989, re selection of Deadly James and
Other Poems to be in the BEST OF THE SMALL PRESSES
book exhibit.)
Paris, le 3.11.89
Chére Nicole,
Je ne vous ai pas écrit depuis longtemps parce
que Monsieur DevoirTravai1FardeauTaloné, ce
tyran implacable, me tenait le bras d'une poigne
d'acier, et je sens le feu de son regard le 3
novembre. Mais je suis content de POUVCIR rester
très occupé.
J'espère que cette lettre ci—jointe vous ap—
porte du plaisir vu que c'est possible que
QUELQ'UN a fait attention enfin à Deadly James
and Other Poems en raison de votre art qui met
en valeur sa couverture; en tout cas QUELQ'UN
e été poussé à l'examiner un peu. Bonnes nou—
velles. J'espère que vous attendiez bien vous
amuser durant la saison des vacances juste
avant 1990.
[handwritten]
Affectueusement,
James

Letter to Nicole Lamotte November 1989

Dear Alice,
Congratulations on your taking over as Acting Presi-
dent of CCNY. When I remember the moments of order and
clarity that you brought to our departmental meetings over
the years, I am sure that CCNY will profit from your stand
at the helm.
During my sabbatical year, 1978-1978, I had the unusual
experience of writing difficult poetry constantly, except
for breathing spells that I took by driving to Spain, Portugal,
Germany, etc. I spent six months writing in an attic flat in
London, then six months in a small apartment in Montparnasse
in Paris--in deliberate isolation. As a result, I have a
new volume of poetry coming out soon, entitled A Chisel in the
Dark.
As you probably know, the Ministry of Education in Paris
granted me a visiting professorship--as part of the "national
contingent," and serving at the University of Toulouse--for
1979-1980, renewable for a second year. The University here,
incidentally, is offering a one-semester course on my poetry,
using as a text The Toulouse Poems that I had published by
Lotus Press of Detroit last year. The American embassies in London and Paris are arranging reading tours for me already,
so all is well on the poetry front.
A university official here will be writing to you, by the
end of this month, he said, in an attempt to get your cooperat-
tion in securing a second year of leave without pay for me.
It seems that the University of Toulouse will be disadvantaged
in a few rather serious ways if I must leave at the end of
this academic year. As for me, I have strong reasons for pre-
ferrring to remain here a second year; so I shall appreciate
anything you can do to help.
In the meantime, good luck in your hard job, and I hope
that you will find both pleasure and pleasantries in these
autumn days.
Cordially,
[signature - Jim]
