Dear Sonia,
Just a note, this, to tell you of my
pleasure in finding that you were one of the
very few Broadside poets who went to Detroit
to honor the memory of Dudley Randall on 12
August. I learned of your presence through
Naomi Long Madgett, who sent me materials
that were available that day.
It was impossible for me to be there
because of a sacred oath that I took to honor
another memory: that of the young man who was
with me, I think, when I interviewed you in
September 1970 in the Bronx. But even as I
write this I begin to have doubts: Was my son
with me during the Sonia Sanchez interview? Did
I see Sonia then, or did I have only her written
answers to my written questions? If your memory
is better than mine, you know when you saw him.
All I know is that "Sonia Sanchez" was an impres-
sive name to him--and that my oath to honor his
memory tells me, sometimes, what planes I must
not catch.
At any rate, I am glad that you went to
Detroit. I stay constantly busy, and you must
do the same. Keep on doing that.
Cordial wishes,
Jim

![-2-
If all details can be worked out amicably, we can anticipate
publication no later than June, 1978. Anything earlier than that
would be virtually impossible for us. Would this time be satis-
factory for you?
When you write again, please send your home telephone number. If
it is necessary to call, I would probably do so in the evening.
My home number is (313) 861-1280; please feel free to call any
evening if you have any questions.
Have your received a copy of 0 Africa, Where I Baked My Bread
from Lance Jeffers? I did not send you one from the press as
he said he would send an autographed copy. Please let me know
your reaction to it. (Thank you for your critical comment, by
the way.) If you see fit to write a review of the book, I am
sure it will be most helpful.
I discussed your poem, "The Negro," in my creative writing class
today. It is an extremely controlled and effective poem, I think,
and I have often used it in my classes.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and hope for a long and
mutually satisfactory professional relationship.
Sincerely,
