3. Teaching Materials, 1946-1985
2 boxes
Includes notes, outlines, subject entries, student work, and printed materials related to Kunitz's long career as a teacher of poetry at various colleges and universities in the United States.
The materials in these files represent the scope of Kunitz's career as a professional poet, at least in the years predominant to Series 14 (1990-2005). They include files on subjects, readings, prizes, and unlike material in other subseries, such as "Writings" or "Correspondence," these files contain a wide range of materials reflecting the totality of work performed. Therefore among the files on Paul Celan, one will find drafts of speeches and poems that Kunitz wrote, alongside ephemera from venues where Kunitz performed. The subject files mirror as closely as possible Kunitz's approach to organizing his materials.

Subseries 14E: Photographs, 1905-2005
2.0 linear feet
3 boxes
A mix of candid shots and posed portraits, the photographs in this collection do more than document Kunitz's life; they allow the observer inside some of the twentieth century's most important artistic circles. Stanley Kunitz and Elise Asher counted Robert Motherwell, Philip Guston, Mark Rothko, Giorgio Cavallon, Robert Lowell, Galway Kinnell, and Dore Ashton among some of their closest personal friends. The photographs show these figures in both casual encounters and more formal compositions, offering an intimate view into the artistic and literary communities to which Kunitz and Asher belonged.
Consists of business cards, recipes, crossword puzzles, brochures, flyers, and a Pewter Bird Pepper Shaker.
Series 14: Additional Material, 1905-2006 (mostly 1990-2005)
33.0 linear feet
74 boxes
This series consists of additional personal and professional materials received prior to and following Stanley Kunitz's death in 2006. A diverse array of materials, including manuscripts, correspondence with friends, fans, and fellow literati, subject files, photographs, audiovisual materials and artwork, richly portrays Kunitz's illustrious career and the various literary and artistic communities to which he and his wife Elise Asher belonged. Kunitz was active professionally all the way up to his death, a remarkable feat for anyone, much less a centenarian. This addition of materials to his papers best represents the period of 1995-2006, in which he published three books: Passing Through (1995) The Collected Poems of Stanley Kunitz (2000) and The Wild Braid: A Poet Reflects on a Century in the Garden (2005). While most of the materials date from the mid-1990s until 2006, older materials in this series fill gaps in the first acquisition.
A bibliography (1941-1980) of Dr. Thomas's scientific publications is provided at the beginning of this section. Reprints of the papers, if present, follow the chronological order of the bibliography; where they are lacking, a full citation is given. Later (post-1980) papers continue the chronological order. At the end have been foldered miscellaneous material, including electron microscope photographs and requests for reprints of Dr. Thomas's papers.
The series has been subdivided by grouping together original and related material for each of the genres in which Dr. Thomas published: books; columns in the New England Journal of Medicine ("Notes of a Biology Watcher") and Discover magazine; general works—articles, reviews, forewords, etc.; and scientific papers. Files covering Dr. Thomas's relationship with the media (TV, radio, and film) conclude the series.
