Scope and Content

Correspondence to Edward Dorn from 1956-1993 comprises over half of the collection. Occasional letters are sent to either Peter Michelson or Jennifer Dunbar Dorn, but they are related either to the Rolling Stock or to the Dorn family in general. Significant correspondents include Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones), Lucia Berlin, Robert Bertholf, Stan and Jane Brakhage, Gordon Brotherston, Herb Butterfield, Tom Clark, Robert Creeley, John Daley, Donald Davie, Fielding Dawson, Clayton Eshleman, Willard Fox, Allen Ginsberg, Woody Haut, Victor Hernandez Cruz, Anselm Hollo, Harry Hoogstraten, J. H. Innskeep, Ken Irby, Terry Jacobus, Joyce Johnson, Jack Kerouac, William Levy, Ellen Mann, Michael McClure, Jim McCrary, Duncan McNaughton, Peter Michelson, Ken Mikolowski, Jeffrey Miller, John Moritz, Raymond Obermayr, Simone Okamura, Charles Olson, Joel Oppenheimer, Charles Potts, Jeremy Prynne, Tom Raworth, Joe Safdie, Ed Sanders, Nicholas Sedgwick, Al Simmons, Preman Sotomayor, David Southern, Anne Waldeman, Donald Wesling, John Wieners, John Wolff, Doug Woolf, and David Young.

Extensive notes, drafts, and rewrites of Edward Dorn's poetry include Abhorrences, Book of Poems, Captain Jack's Chaps, Collected Gran Apacheria, Cosmology of Finding Your Spot, The Cycle, Geography, Gran Apacheria, Gunslinger, Hands Up!, North Atlantic Turbine, Recollections of Gran Apacheria, Songs Set Two: A Short Count, 24 Love Songs, and Yellow Lola. Similar materials exist for Edward Dorn's works of prose, including Abilene, Abilene, The Book of Daniel, Shoshoneans, Some Business Recently Transacted in the White World, Views, and What I See in the Maximus Poems. However, various published works by Edward Dorn appear to have left no drafts or revisions to examine. Personal information about Edward Dorn is found only in the correspondence or interviews—most of the published work on Edward Dorn concerns his work, not his personal life.

Edward Dorn's publications Bean News and Rolling Stock include submissions by various authors and editorial notes. Broadsides include art and published poetry, as well as announcements of book signings or poetry readings. Taped interviews and recorded poetry readings comprise the majority of the AV materials. Photographs range from family snapshots to photos for illustrations or articles. Numerous books and periodicals have been removed from the collection and can be found in Archives & Special Collections at the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center. Check the library catalogue (HOMER) for call numbers.

Arrangement

The collection consists of correspondence sent primarily to Edward Dorn, manuscripts and publications created by Edward Dorn, other authors' publications about Edward Dorn or his work, other authors' submissions to Edward Dorn, assorted broadsides, audio-visual materials, and photographs.

Series I: Correspondence (undated, 1956-1993) is divided into Major and Minor correspondents. Correspondence found in the Major collection include five or more letters from the correspondent, or are from prominent authors in another collection. Much of the correspondence in the Major collection is undated—these letters are filed in the front of their respective folders. The Major correspondence also includes submissions of poetry and prose if accompanied by a letter from the author. Significant correspondents include Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones), Lucia Berlin, Robert Bertholf, Jane and Stan Brakhage, Gordon Brotherston, Herb Butterfield, Tom Clark, Robert Creeley, John Daley, Donald Davie, Fielding Dawson, Clayton Eshleman, Willard Fox, Allen Ginsberg, Woody Haut, Victor Hernandez Cruz, Anselm Hollo, Harry Hoogstraten, J. H. Innskeep, Ken Irby, Terry Jacobus, Joyce Johnson, Jack Kerouac, William Levy, Ellen Mann, Michael McClure, Jim McCrary, Duncan McNaughton, Peter Michelson, Ken Mikolowski, Jeffrey Miller, John Moritz, Raymond Obermayr, Simone Okamura, Charles Olson, Joel Oppenheimer, Charles Potts, Jeremy Prynne, Tom Raworth, Joe Safdie, Ed Sanders, Nicholas Sedgwick, Al Simmons, Preman Sotomayor, David Southern, Anne Waldeman, Donald Wesling, John Wieners, John Wolff, Doug Woolf, and David Young.

Minor correspondence begins with unidentified correspondents' undated letters. Known correspondents with undated letters follow. The remaining correspondence is filed alphabetically for each year with unidentified correspondents who sent dated correspondence at the end of each year.

Series II: Dorn Manuscripts (undated, 1961-1993) are arranged alphabetically by title. Large manuscripts or photographs throughout the collection are filed in the oversize boxes—boxes 28 and 29. Edward Dorn's notebooks and calendars are arranged chronologically, with undated notebooks first.

Series III: Dorn Publications (undated, 1972-1991) contains Dorn's work with Bean News and Rolling Stock and includes drafts, manuscripts, revisions, artwork, etc. grouped by issue.

Series IV: Publications About Dorn (undated, 1982) includes other authors' work about Edward Dorn or his work include interviews, articles, chapters, essays, and poetry.

Series V: Submitted Manuscripts (undated) contains submitted manuscripts without cover letters are arranged alphabetically, by author, with unidentified authors filed first.

Series VI: Broadsides (undated) filed separately for preservation purposes. An accompanying separation sheet with an item indicates items associated with a specific correspondent.

Series VII: AV Materials and Artifacts (undated) filed separately for preservation purposes. An accompanying separation sheet with an item indicates items associated with a specific correspondent.

Series VIII: Photographs (undated) filed separately for preservation purposes. An accompanying separation sheet with an item indicates items associated with a specific correspondent. Dates for photographs can only be inferred from the dates of the associated correspondence and is so noted on the separation form and not in the finding aid.
