Letter from Jane Cooper to Kertesz, July 10 1978

Dated July 10th, 1978. A typed letter from Jane Cooper to Louise Kertesz. Cooper apologizes for replying to the letter so late, and expresses elation that Louise Kertesz is writing a book about Rukeyser. On page two of the letter, Cooper comments on Rukeyser as a teacher, in particular on her willingness "to let a class go through some stormy times in order to reach both a genuine group experience, communal growth, & to get each individual to reach deeply into herself or himself. I could be wrong, but I think she would say there can be no genuine growth without a certain amount of chaos, or grappling." Cooper tells Kertesz "that as part of Sarah Lawrence's celebration of its 50th Year, the Writing Faculty are sponsoring a Day in Honor of Muriel Rukeyser." After describing the planned day-long event, she expresses her hope that Kertesz will be able to attend." Page 2 of 2.
