Description

Lind is a professor in the Department of Latin and Greek at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. He writes on department letterhead to Creekmore in Jackson, Mississippi. He thanks Creekmore for agreeing to translate a poem or two for "Early Italian Lyric Poetry in Translation," a book to be published by Yale University Press with an introduction by Thomas G. Bergin. Lind explains that some other contributors have already agreed to translate Vittoria Colonna and Rinaldo d'Aquino. Lind discusses a Latin verse volume that he is working on with James Laughlin. He states that Creekmore's "A Little Treasury of World Poetry" is more comprehensive and of higher quality than Mark Van Doren's "An Anthology of World Poetry," published in 1929. Includes envelope.
