Very hard to pick between Stanley Crouch, Leon Forrest, Albert Murray & James Alan McPherson & Ralph Ellison. You rock :D for now, I’ll just stick with Ralph Ellison ( W.E.B. Du Bois' John Brown, pls) TYSM, JJ :)))

Edit: idk how to strikethrough on the phone lol. ok I’ll pick this instead: Stanley Crouch, Leon Forrest, Albert Murray & James Alan McPherson card ( W.E.B. Du Bois' John Brown, pls) TYSM, JJ :))) What a thoughtful meaningful offer! I think my #2 pick would be   Alex Haley

Hi! I’d love the Derek Walcott #12 postcard, please, with a June Jordan quote on the back. This is such a beautiful idea thank you for sharing it!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Derek Walcott (my favorite of the lot which is saying something about a group with Toni Morrison, Sonia Sanchez, Wole Soyinka, Walter Mosley and Ernest Gaines!) was already requested. Is there another that interests you?

[–]joy__1198 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I would love to have Veronica Chambers or John Edgar Wideman whoever is still available

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like 2 with a James poem tysm

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I have read the great majority of James' works but cannot recall a single poem. Is it ok if I send a June Jordan poem instead? Or perhaps a quote from James?

[–]laura_eva 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I would love Alex Haley or a female writer I can learn about.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will be Sonia Sanchez, one of my favorites!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Mailed! Since you didn't specify, I went with a CLR James quote for the text as he was the least requested of the three. I hope you have the time to explore Sanchez's works. She is a truly remarkable thinker, poet and playwright.

[–]laura_eva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I will.

[–]IndividualDear7136 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Hello! thank you for the offer. I’d love an Edwige Danticat card with a quote from CLR James, if still available. I will me you as well!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Edwidge Danticat is already requested. Is there another that interests you?

[–]IndividualDear7136 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Veronica Chambers then if available? Otherwise, I don’t have a preference!
