Jean L'ANSELME

Autograph letter signed, one page by Jean L'Anselme addressed to his friend the poet Charles Dobzynski (23 lines in blue ink) in which he discusses the project of an anthology of proletarian poetry where Charles Dobzynski could appear although the latter no longer considers himself to be regarded as a proletarian poet.
Central creases inherent to folding for posting.
Jean L'Anselme returns to his classification of so-called "proletarian" poets: "No mystification, it is indicated in my presentation that some of the poets presented have since transcended the proletarian condition but that the texts which are published nevertheless represent the testimony of a period of their existence..." who appear in his anthology soon to be published and which deserves some enlightening clarifications because Charles Dobzynski no longer seems to see himself as a proletarian-poet: "One can very well announce in the preliminary lines with a few words, your current situation, if you so desire. One can even make you disappear completely if you demand it, which would cause me some sorrow..."
Jean L'Anselme will soon be a member of the C.N.E.: "I will moreover have the opportunity to meet you shortly at the C.N.E. since I have made an application to enter - Abraham and Guillevic are my sponsors and as on the other hand Jouglet happens to be my cousin, I will find myself among family... Sponsors! cousin... and you of course as a brother."
Jean L'Anselme is not a little proud to announce to his friend, humorously, the birth of his son: "I announce to you the birth of Jean-Philippe which puts me in the ranks of the respectable."
