Dear Professor Franklin:
I have long remembered, with belated appreciation,
the day you invited me as a freshman into your office
at Howard University and showed me the opening para—
graph of what was to become From Slavery to Freedom.
Remembering your kindness that day-- and recalling some—
thing you wrote (perhaps in Soon, One Morning or another
anthology not now at hand) concerning your trials as a
Black historian in American libraries, etc.--I wrote the
enclosed poem, "Little Old Black Historian." Arnold
Rampersad, while visiting me last month to ask questions
about Langston Hughes for a biography he is writing,
saw this poem. When I told him that I had been thinking
of you while composing it, he replied, "Why don't you
dedicate it to hom?" So I did.
Since you might take some interest in what I have
been doing since that day long ago at Howard, I also
enclose the cover from my latest book (1980) and a pub—
licity sheet that gives a good idea of my activities in
poetry. This year, my fourth consecutive year abroad
(I return to the City College of the City University of
New York next fall), I completed a book that the Jay B.
Hubbell Center for American Literary Historiography at
Duke University asked me for several years ago. I en-
titled it [*in typescript only*]
Snowf1akes and Steel: My Life as a Poet, 1971-
1980. Since It analytically covers the background and
composition of each poem in my last two volumes, with
travelogue and well over fifty photographs-415 pages of
text and 43of photos—-it might be a first of its kind.
Although I swore off writing prose several years
ago, to concentrate on poetry, I'm now writing a book
for Regent's Press, a reader for "Level 4" learners of
English. I agreed to do it because it is entirely about
my poetry. Like Snowflakes..., it will have drafts of
some of the poems, as well as some photos.
I hope that you and those closest to you are well
and that, if you are still teaching, your classtime is
pleasant.
Sincerely yours,
James A. Emanuel
