Description
MacGregor writes from New York City on New Directions Publishing Corporation letterhead to Creekmore in Jackson, Mississippi, regarding Creekmore's translation of Forty-One Provencal Lyrics. He does not express much hope that it will be published, because New Directions has recently published The Goliard Poems and plans to publish a number of other poetry collections in the future, including Kenneth Rexroth's translation of 100 Japanese Poems, a Kenneth Patchen volume, and a poetry volume by Vernon Watkins. MacGregor states that James Laughlin will make the final decision on the matter. MacGregor explains that he sent Creekmore copies of Corvo, The Dragon and the Unicorn, and New Directions XIV. He plans to send Camino, Lamiel, and Argol. He discusses financial issues at New Directions. Includes envelope.
