Abstract: Papers of Charlie Vermont, an American poet and editor, which shed light on the careers of a group of writers who began publishing
in the late 1960s. The extent of the collection is small, and dominated by correspondence with other poets which touch on
both the correspondents' and Vermont's literary careers and personal lives. While the earliest of the letters dates from the
late 1960s, and the most recent is from the early 1980s, the majority were written in the mid-1970s. Also included is a small
group of original writings by Vermont.

CORRESPONDENCE
Scope and Content of Series
Series 1) CORRESPONDENCE: Correspondence sent to Vermont by various writers makes up the bulk of the collection. Most of these
writers were also personal friends of Vermont's; therefore the letters often transcend professional matters and touch on Vermont's
and the correspondents' lives. The letters of each correspondent are collected within a single folder, and the folders are
arranged alphabetically. Letters from unidentified correspondents are collected at the end of the series. The largest collection
of letters are those sent by Lewis Warsh, Charles Walsh, Bernadette Mayer, and Ken Irby. The collection is limited in scope
by the absence of Vermont's own letters.
