American literature--20th century.Collection ContentsSeries I. Robert Grenier Notebooks 1968 Oct - 1994 JuneScope and Contents Note

RG's Notebooks date from 1968 through 1994 and are divided into two subseries. Subseries 1 is a listing of RG's Notebooks from 1968-1989 and consists of 87 individual notebooks. Subseries 2 is a supplementary inventory of RG Notebooks dating from 1989-1994 (see Series I, Subseries 2 for a more detailed description). In general the Notebooks are identified by label (to the best of RG's ability, by internal references and occasional explicit dates) by date of composition, period of RG's writing and place of composition (e.g. "September 1972, Sentences period, Franconia, NH"). Notebooks are of varying sizes, with those of 150 sheets, 5 1/2" by 9 1/2" being most common. Notebooks are commonly filled on both sides of the sheets and for the most part contain RG's poems and occasional critical writings. There are some drawings and collaborative ventures by various hands (e.g. Anselm Hollo, John Bátki). The Notebooks listed in Subseries 1 are usually written in ink of one color those listed in Subseries 2 are commonly written in green, blue, black and red ink.
