RICHARD WILMARTH PAPERS
1979-2003

MSG# 165

SERIES I	SUBJECT FILE	DATES
1.5' (3 Boxes)		1983-2003

The Subject File Series includes a variety of records related to Richard Wilmarth's career as a poet. Of special interest are the collection of critiques and reviews of Wilmarth's poetry. This includes comments from URI faculty and printed reviews. Among those journals in which his works were reviewed are The Iconoclast, HELTER SKELTER, Samisdat, Dog River Review, Heathen Zine, and Plastic Tower.

Wilmarth's early self-published poetry and some poems published in periodicals can be found in the folders labeled "Publications".  His poetry published by his own publication organ, The Dead Metaphor Press, can be found in Series V.  Also found in this series are Wilmarth's appointment books, a collection of historical data and information on the city of Raleigh, North Carolina (1980-1990), handbills, advertisements announcing some of Wilmarth’s speaking engagements, and a few photographs of Wilmarth and other poets.

The records are arranged alphabetically by subject or type of material.
