[identification of item], E.V. Griffith papers (M1136). Dept. of Special Collections and University Archives, Stanford Libraries,
Stanford, Calif.
Included are working files for the magazines and small press books Griffith edited and published between 1945 and 1995, consisting
of manuscripts, correspondence, ephemera, some photographs and audiocassettes, as well as most of the publications themselves.
Some correspondence and other files involve Griffith's associates William Childress (especially for
Poetry Now) and Lloyd Zimpel (Griffith's co-editor at
Minnesota Quarterly, largely pre-dating the collection].
Griffith's own writings and manuscripts, including a novel-length work, are also included.
The collection was extensively described prior to receipt by Stanford, with listings of nearly every manuscript or letter
from each poet over a period of over forty years.
