Letter from Muriel Rukeyser to Louise Kertesz

Original, typewritten letter, written on October 9th, 1977. The letter is from Muriel Rukeyser to Louise Kertesz. Muriel states that she hopes that Louise has sent out the manuscript by now, and that Monica McCall has written to Mr. McGuire, and that she hopes that Louise hears good things. Monica says that she will give Louise any names she wants. Muriel asks Louise to let her know when she plans to come to New York. Rukeyser hopes to see her and she is now planning poetry readings that will take place over the winter, so knowing the dates that Louise is coming will help her plan out her final schedule. Rukeyser will answer Louise’s questions on the interview when they meet, or on tape. If it comes to the very worst, Rukeyser warns that she may be ‘slippery’ when it comes to making such a tape. Rukeyser is still avoiding a great deal, and by nature she would avoid that anyway.
