(POST—IT note to Nicole Lamotte with photocopy of
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

![Cédric BRUT, 1 April 2004 02-
(1973) has my essay "Christ in Alabama: Religion
in the Poetry of Langston Hughes."
Hughes told me that his ambition was "to il—
luminate the condition of the Negro in America."
He put the voice of his people, their tones,
accents, and phrases into his works; and that
mixture includes "language jazzistique".
I wrote this letter in a hurry, necessarily,
and I hope that it helps you a little. Good luck
with your present and future projects.
Sincerely,
[signature - J Emanuel]](https://cuny.manifoldapp.org/system/resource/0/b/c/0bcc5ddd-a24e-4213-99ab-ece29f98fd58/attachment/f464467b879d95c859aeee90647f8b3c.jpg)
