RICHARD WILMARTH PAPERS
1979-2003

MSG# 165

SERIES IV	CORRESPONDENCE	DATES
3' (6 Boxes)		1989-2003

The extensive Correspondence Series is organized into two sub series, General and Personal. Correspondence includes letters, cards, postcards and notes. Subjects discussed in this series include poetic styles, philosophy and publishing outlets. There are letters from presses to which Wilmarth submitted his poetry and prose, and letters with authors published by the Dead Metaphor Press. Some also cover the vicissitudes of life as a poet. Among those represented in the General Correspondence are Donald Hall, Ed Sanders, (poet and members of the 60’s rock band the Fugs), Tracy Davis, John McKernan, and Anselm Hollo.   

Personal Correspondence encompasses letters from family and friends, including many with close personal relationships with Wilmarth. In some instances, correspondence that began as general in nature evolved into personal exchanges, and these are filed with the Personal Correspondence.  Access to the Personal correspondence, because of its intimate or personal nature, is restricted from general research until 2025. Requests for access for specific research inquiries may be granted by the Head of Special Collections on a case by case basis. The folder title listing of correspondents for this sub series is not included in this register.  Inquiries should be addressed to the Head of Special Collections
