Return to Jack Conroy
December 7, 1931
Dear Comrade,
I send you the fraternal greeting as a translation of "Unrest" and proletarian poems in U.S.A.
As you know, I was editing the Japanese section of Front and introducing the Japanese proletarian pieces to the readers in abroad though the collaboration with Norman MacLoed. Our translations appeared also in New Masses (October number) and we wish to accomplish this work.
For a few years, I have devoted myself to the study and introduction of proletarian poetry in America by translating "Unrest" "An Anthology of Revolutionary Poetry" etc, though my translation does nor appear still in a book form because of the profound deppression of publishers.
At any rate, i wish heartily to introduce the conditions and movements in your group to the masses in our country. That is perhaps one of the important works in a radical translator.
Would you kindly let me know about the followings:
1. The general tendencies in American poetry after the great war.
2. The publications of radical poets.
3. The conditions and movements of the proletarian poets in U.S.A.
FRONT
Administration; N.V. Servire, 15 Rietzangerlaan, Den Haag, Holland.
