Letter from Louise Kertesz to Esther Broner

Dated July 13th, 1981. A typewritten letter from Louise Kertesz to Esther Broner who taught at Wayne State and Sarah Lawrence) on a “number of bad encounters (non-encounters) in connection with my work.” The letter thanks Esther for speaking to people about LK’s The Poetic Vision of Muriel Rukeyser and mentions Louise Bernikow who had used Kertesz’s book for an article for MS magazine without any acknowledgements. Kertesz’s had not been for a full-time job at Wayne University. Apparently, she did not “interview well” and the committee who read Kertesz’s book were unimpressed. Kertesz then asks Esther for suggestions for editorial work or writing in Detroit.
