The Robert Creeley Papers document the life work of a leading American poet of the 20th century, one of the core members of
the "Black Mountain School." They also document several important movements in American poetics in the second half of the
century. The papers include Creeley's personal and professional correspondence, journals, business records, personal mementos,
clippings, artwork, and other documents generated and collected by him from 1950 to 1997.
The papers are divided into 15 series: 1. Correspondence; 2. Manuscripts by Creeley; 3. Manuscripts by others; 4. Business
records; 5. Black Mountain Review / Divers Press Editor Files; 6. Academic records and teaching materials; 7. Interviews;
8. Announcements; 9. Memorabilia; 10.Photographs and Artwork; 11. Publications; 12. Audiovisual Materials; 13. Computer files;
14. Creeley Family Ephemera; and 15. Oversize Materials.
Wherever Creeley's original arrangement of materials was encountered, his order has been respected. However, in certain instances
when the papers arrived without any clear indication of Creeley's own intellectual organization for those papers, it was necessary
to divine what we think is the most appropriate intellectual arrangement for the papers. Stanford University Libraries has
essayed to organize the papers in the schema of earlier intellectual organizations, especially that established at Washington
University, St. Louis, where many of these papers were previously stored. Too, where no clear provenance for individual documents
can be determined, we have attempted to find an organizational schema which will be most useful for researchers and scholars.
Series 16, accession 2005-348, consists of one box of photocopies of correspondence.
The materials in Series 17, accession 2011-036, are divided into 16 subseries and consist of correspondence, manuscripts by
Creeley, manuscripts by others, materials relating to various works written by Creeley, miscellaneous ephemera, photographs,
printed matter, audiovisual materials and computer files.
Series 18 consists of miscellaneous correspondence and ephemera removed from the books in Robert Creeley's library.
Recognized as a seminal figure of American letters in the second half of the 20th century, Robert White Creeley was born in
Arlington, Massachusetts, on May 21, 1926, attended the Holderness School and then Harvard College. He received degrees from
The Black Mountain College (B.A., 1956) and the University of New Mexico (M.A., 1960).
After serving as an ambulance driver for the American Field Service in India and Burma, then living for a year outside Aix-en-Provence,
France, Creeley moved in 1952 to Mallorca, where he founded and edited the Divers Press. Upon his return to the United States
and at the invitation of Charles Olson, Creeley moved to North Carolina where he joined the faculty of the Black Mountain
College and edited the short-lived but highly influential journal, The Black Mountain Review (1954 -1957). Though he left
the college in 1955, Creeley had already established himself as one of the leading figures of the literary avant-garde of
the 1950s, establishing with Charles Olson the "Black Mountain School,"one of the most important movements in American letters,
the foundation of Projective Verse, a break from the New Criticism and its "insistence on form as extrensic to the poem. He
is notable for having established a lasting association with his literary mentors-Pound, Williams, Zukofsky, Bunting, and
Dahlberg, among others-as well as those poets, writers and visual artists associated with the experimental arts of Black Mountain
and the 1950s avant-garde. Among these are Paul Blackburn, John Chamberlain, Francisco Clemente, Cid Corman, Fielding Dawson,
Jim Dine, Elsa Dorfman, Ed Dorn, Robert Duncan, Robert Indiana, R.B. Kitaj, Denise Levertov, Marisol, and especially Charles
Olson, with whom Creeley corresponded extensively and collaborated on Mayan Letters (1953). Creeley was also a presence in
the San Francisco poetry renaissance, where he formed a life-long association with Barth, Corso, Ginsberg, Kerouac, and McClure.
Creeley is currently the SUNY Distinguished Professor of English and holds the Samuel P. Capen Chair of Poetry and Humanities
at the State University of New York, Buffalo, a center of innovation and postmodern poetics, particularly that or those of
the so-called "L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E" poets.
While his oeuvre includes short stories, essays, a novel, as well as criticism, Creeley is known principally as a poet. His
friend and fellow poet John Ashbery has said of Creeley and his work, "He is the best we have." He has published over thirty
volumes of verse since 1952, including: Words (1967); Pieces (1969); St. Martin's (1971); A Day Book (1972); Thirty Things
(1974); Presences : A Text for Marisol (1976); Away (1976); Echoes (1982); Mirrors (1983); Memory Gardens (1986); and Windows
(1990). His most recent collections of poems are Echoes (1994), published by New Directions, and Loops (1995), published by
Nadja. Among his collections of poems are: For Love : Poems, 1950-1960 (1962); Poems 1950-1965 (1966); The Charm (1971); The
Finger : Poems 1966-1969 (1970); The Door : Selected Poems (1975); Selected Poems (1976); The Collected Poems of Robert Creeley,
1945-1975 (1982); and Selected Poems 1945-1990 (1991).
Creeley has been awarded numerous literary prizes, including the Horst Bienek Lyrikpreis from the Bavarian Academy of Fine
Arts, two Guggenheim Fellowships, a Fulbright Award, and a Rockefeller Grant. He was named New York State Poet Laureate in
1992. Creeley is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
He lives with his wife, Penelope Highton Creeley, and two of his six children in Buffalo, New York.
