Howe (Susan) Papers

Accession Processed in 1991

CORRESPONDENCE

Scope and Content of Series

Series 1) CORRESPONDENCE: Several dozen letters from each of a few notable correspondents, specifically George Butterick, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Lyn Hejinian, and John Taggart, but notably lacks letters from other poets known to be among her circle of colleagues and peers. There are a few novelty letters from Charles Reznikoff, May Sarton, Orson Welles, and John Wheelock, among others, relating to their involvement in Howe's 1970s WBAI Radio program, "Poetry." A photocopy of Susan Howe's letter to Richard Sewell containing her speculations about Emily Dickinson's "Master Letters" and Sewell's response, along with some brief correspondence with Ralph Franklin, contribute to Dickinson scholarship.

WRITINGS

Scope and Content of Series

Series 2) WRITINGS is arranged into four subseries: A) Working Manuscripts, B) Readings and Talks, C) Journals, and D) Installations. These are arranged alphabetically with the exception of the sketchbook working journals, which are arranged chronologically.

A) Working Manuscripts: The contents of individual files were maintained in the order in which they were received, though the folders were alphabetized by the title of the predominant work. Howe often worked on more than one manuscript at the same time. For example, Defenestration of Prague and Liberties manuscripts are found in the same folder, as are manuscripts of Chanting at the Crystal Sea and Secret History of the Dividing Line.

B) Readings and Talks: Notes for talks at New College, San Jose State's 1986 Emily Dickinson/HD conference, the Duncan Memorial, and other events dating from the mid to late 1980s.

C) Journals: Arranged into two categories of "Diaries/Personal Journals" and "Working Journals." The "Diaries/Personals Journals" includes some mid-1950s journals kept by Howe during trips to Ireland that document the establishment of her ongoing relationship and pilgrimages to Ireland, along with various working notebooks containing notes for poetry, personal commentary and other daily notation. The "Working Journals" comprise a collection of working poetry sketchbooks dating from 1974-1988 that illustrate Howe's interest in the relationships between poetry and visual arts.

D) Installations: Work files, exhibition notes, and photographs of some of Howe's installation exhibitions.

TAPE RECORDINGS

Scope and Content of Series

Series 4) TAPE RECORDINGS: Selections from Howe's late 1970s radio program "Poetry." Recordings document interviews and readings with important experimental poets, including: Bruce Andrews and Charles Bernstein discussing their serial L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, Bernadette Mayer, Ron Padgett, Robert Creeley, Lyn Hejinian, and Robert Lax. Memorial readings for R.D. Laing and John Wheelright, as well as readings by May Sarton, Helen Adam, John Hall Wheelock, and some WBAI Radio archive tapes of readings by Jack Spicer, George Oppen, Charles Reznikoff, and Charles Olson locate the contemporary poets in this series within a poetic tradition. A discussion with William Eric Williams concerning his relationship with his father and their home life provides important information for William Carlos Williams scholarship. These tapes can be referenced through the ANP Tapes Listening Series, ANP SPL-1014 through ANP SPL-1113. See also Series 12.

Series 7) NOTEBOOKS are arranged in two subseries: A) Personal Diaries, and B) Working Sketchbook Journals. At the beginning of the first subseries is a list of notebooks and journals with dates and some description of the contents of the notebooks. Since many of the notebooks are not marked with explicit dates, estimates have been made as to their chronology and approximate dates, while Howe's list has been left as a resource for researchers looking for more information.

A) Personal Diaries: Spiral notebooks dating from 1978 to 1997 containing research notes, quotations, and diary-type writing. Some of these notebooks also contain notes for WBAI and Howe's teaching.

B) Working Sketchbook Journals: Twelve sketchbooks (1971, 1988-1997) containing early drafts of Howe's published works.

WRITINGS

Scope and Content of Series

Series 8) WRITINGS consists of materials supplementing Series 2, in addition to a significant amount of new work produced and published in the 1990s. The series is arranged in six subseries: A) Early Writings, B) Reviews, C) Published Writings, D) Readings and Lectures, E) Unpublished and Miscellaneous, and F) Research Materials.

A) Early Writings: Works produced when Howe was a child in the 1940s and early 1950s, as well as her earliest work from the late 1960s when she began to make the transition from producing visual works to writing texts. Arranged chronologically.

B) Reviews: Reviews published mostly in art journals and magazines from the 1960s and early 1970s. Organized alphabetically by the title of each review.

C) Published Writings: While it contains some loose notes and correspondence relating to works published in the late 1970s-1980s, the larger part of this subseries consists of materials relating to works published in the 1990s, particularly Singularities (1990), The Non-Conformist's Memorial (1993), The Birthmark (1993), and "Sorting Facts, or, Nineteen Ways of Looking at Marker." Organized chronologically by the publication date of each book or article.

D) Readings and Lectures: Notes and materials which Howe used for various readings, lectures, panels, and introductions to other writers' talks and readings. It also contains a folder of announcements and flyers, arranged in chronological order, which provides some overview of the range of Howe's public readings in the 1980s and 1990s. Additional evidence of these events is contained in Series 5) CORRESPONDENCE and Series 8) PUBLISHED WRITINGS (Subseries C), where reading copies of particular published works are located with other materials related to those works. Arranged alphabetically according to the organization which sponsored the event.

E) Unpublished and Miscellaneous: Materials which have not been published, or whose publication has not been located. Howe labeled some of these folders "Outtakes," and it is probable that she produced much of this content concurrently with materials which were eventually published. Arranged in chronological order.

F) Research Materials: Photocopies of archival materials, articles, and books. Howe's groupings have been maintained as much as possible, and some folders contain materials labelled according to her descriptions (e.g. "19th Century American"). These materials were presumably used in preparation both for teaching and for writing, and some of it is marked with Howe's marginalia and notes. Howe's own interest in other writers' marginalia (i.e. notes in the margins of books by other authors) makes this subseries potentially very interesting to researchers, poets and historians interested in the author's relationship to others' texts. It includes Howe's copy of Melville's marginalia, marked with Howe's own marginalia. This presumably formed the background for Howe's "Melville's Marginalia," published in The Non-Conformist's Memorial (1993), as well as other work. The subseries is arranged alphabetically according to the author's last name, or by Howe's folder titles.
