Subseries I.1: Writings, 1959-1979
- Scope and content:
-
This subseries contains poetry, notes, prose pieces, scripts, lists, theatrical pieces, stage designs, text fragments, and other textual and manuscript material created by Angus MacLise. Many of these manuscript items include illustrations or other artwork in addition to text. Large numbers of the items in this subseries are in fragmentary form or represent notes and ideas that were never developed into published poems, performances, or documents, but drafts and revisions of better-known published works, including Year, a shamanic reordering of the calendar year published by MacLise and Piero Heliczer's Dead Language Press, are also included. While most of the items are originals (both holographic and typescript), some photocopies are also included in the subseries; these are clearly noted. Researchers interested in other writing by MacLise not found here should consult Subseries I.5 (Publishing, Editorial and Business Ventures) and Subseries I.7 (Posthumous Materials and Legacy).
