Summary
An email thread from November 25, 2018, between Harvard professor Lisa New and Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias 'J'). They discuss drafting an invitation for Serena (presumably Williams) to join a poetry project, with Epstein advising New to frame it as joining 'Bill Clinton' and 'Shaque' rather than just appearing on a show. Notably, Lisa New discusses hunting for her copy of the book 'Lolita' to read on a trip to Australia, explicitly comparing it to 'My Antonia' as being about 'a man whose whole life is stamped forever by his impression of a young girl'—a significant comment given the recipient.

Importance: High
can you give me a little bit of phrasing you think is optimal? I'm not sure I know how to ask her to join this
company without asking her to be
part of poetry in america. It does also seem to me perhaps relevant that Serena thinks of herself as a poetry
person.
For people who think that way, maybe not nothing (hasn't been nothing to others) that a Harvard poetry
professor seeks her wisdom on the art form?

Would really appreciate your edit.

this poem about childbirth and is not for children.
It's for adults and it raises awareness on the issues of discrimination against women athletes in sports
,and, against women of color in childbirth. These are Serena's big issues now.

Dear Jeffrey,
Dear Jeffrey,
Here is an invitation you can forward. Fingers crossed.
I'm going upstairs to hunt for my copy of Lolita, or will get on my kindle and reread on our way to
Australia. I may have lent it to one of my kids. I would recommend reading My Antonia by Cather next
time you're on a long plane trip. The prose is gorgeous, and the book has-- come to think of it-- similar
themes to Lolita in that it's about a man whose whole life is stamped forever by his impression of a young
girl.
