Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

This subseries consists of 29 notebooks in which García Vega recorded daily diary entries, ideas, drafts of poems, stories and correspondence, fragments of poems and stories, recollections of dreams, quotations, and his own responses to literature and art.

García Vega did number pages in many of the notebooks and often compiled indexes inside the front and back covers pointing to particular stories, poems, or fragments within the notebook. Where there is a distinct title written by García Vega it is indicated (See Notebook 11-16, 19, 27).

Arrangement

Most notebooks in this subseries are undated and unnamed. Where there is a date or title, it is indicated. Otherwise, the notebooks are arranged loosely based on physical likeness or theme, as apparent in the content.
