Correspondence, 1962-1988

Series II. consists of the correspondence from Wieners to Robert A. Wilson, excepting a few items, recipients of which have been noted. Items of interest include postcards from Wieners to Wilson and Marshall Clements from Spoleto, Italy, where in 1965, several Beat poets gathered to share their work. Another highlight of this series is the postcard dated January 13, 1970, sent from Gloucester, Massachusetts, to Wilson after the funeral service of poet and co-founder of Black Mountain College, Charles Olson (died January 10, 1970), signed by Wieners, Allen de Loach, and Allen Ginsberg. Material is arranged chronologically.
