Larry Eigner Papers: Preliminary Inventory

Note: Boxes #1 through #6 contain materials documenting Larry Eigner's poetical works. These papers are arranged in the sequences Eigner himself devised and used. The papers consist predominantly of photocopy and carbon copies of typescripts, the originals of which are in the University of Kansas Library. Many of these copies do, however, have holographic notations, most of which are extremely difficult to read. There are some original manuscript works included, also with notations.
