This series contains the papers that pertain to Kunitz's journeys abroad. The papers have been kept together as Kunitz had them. Each trip in this series was sponsored by a cultural exchange program of some sort. This series is arranged alphabetically according to continent or country name.
This series is arranged into four subseries: Africa, Israel/Egypt, Italy, and Russia.
This sub-series consists of the various papers, including documents, and miscellaneous and printed materials, that Kunitz collected from and about his 1976 journey to Africa, where he visited the countries of Senegal and Ghana. In cases where it was possible to make a decisive identification, the materials are filed under the country from which they originated or to which they refer. If it was difficult to make such a judgment or if the material in question referred to both countries, it was placed at the beginning of the sub-series. Materials from Senegal preceed those from Ghana, as this was the order in which Kunitz visited each country. There is a good deal of printed material from Ghana regarding a student demonstration against Kunitz at a poetry reading.
Arranged by genre of material and subject of material.
Consists of materials, including correspondence, documents, notebooks, photocopies, and miscellaneous and printed materials, that Kunitz accumulated reagarding his trip to Israel and Egypt in 1980. When possible, the material was arranged according to country of origin. Materials regarding Israel were placed before those regarding Egypt, as this was the order in which Kunitz visited each country; material regarding both countries is located at the beginning of the sub-series.
Arranged by genre of material and subject of material.
Consists of correspondence regarding and printed material from Kunitz's 1977 trip to Italy.
Arranged by genre of material.
Contains materials pertaining to Kunitz's 1967 and 1979 trips to Russia. Although his visit to Russia in 1967 included a stop in Poland, all of the material in this collection relates to Russia. In addition, the materials of each trip were found in separate envelopes with labels (in Kunitz's hand) indicating the year in which the trip was taken. In regard to the 1967 visit, there is a good deal of correspondence, which is arranged in alphabetical order; however, many of these letters were dated after the trip (up to 1974) but, because they were in the 1967 envelope, were left in this series (as opposed to moving them to Series II, Sub-Series B). This sub-series includes-aside from the correspondence-documents, carbon copies, and miscellaneous and printed material and is arranged by the year in which each trip was taken ( i.e. , all of the material from 1967 precedes that of 1979).
Arranged chronologically and then by genre of material.
