Foreword
I came to writing with some awkwardness, just that nothing in the situation in which I grew up seemed particularly involved with that possibility. My sister Helen, however, four years older than I, was an intensive reader, and it was she who gave me both Conrad and Dostoyevsky to read when I must have been about twelve or thirteen. She also wrote poems which had gained the approval of Robert P. Tristram Coffin among others. At school I had several exceptional teachers, all of whom increased my articulation and also my perception of what "saying things" could accomplish. One, for example, had us translate sections of Joyce's Dubliners into Basic English, an exercise which made very literal the actual agency that the words in Joyce's text were making. When it came time to go to college, I sent applications to Amherst, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard. The first two offered excellent preparation for veterinary medicine, which I then hoped would be my profession, and both offered me substantial scholarships. Harvard's acceptance, however, despite the lack of any financial assistance, must have turned my head, coming from a small town in Massachusetts as I did. In any case, the decision to go to Harvard was also a decision to commit myself to writing, no matter that I was probably not that certain of it at the time. My friends there quickly expanded senses of writing I had had to include Pound and Stein among others. They
were also the first to publish me and to invite me, generously, to be one of the editors of the Cummings' issue of the Harvard Wuke.Willy Gaddis, Jake Bean, Bernie Weinbaum, and Bill Lieberman also had myself and Gordon Rollins elected to the Harvard Advocate but our subsequent conduct caused the university to expunge all record of that fact. The rest of it, so to speak, is to be found here. It's a very strange feeling now looking through the various entries, much like seeing the rings on a tree stump. I have never had the sense that I was getting very much done, and so it's a particular pleasure to see how much has accumulated no matter. I'm grateful, of course, that it has mattered to others, those readers whom I've never dared assume might be there. I felt I was doing something very like tossing pebbles in a pool. The way the rings have gone out is a very deep pleasure. I must say I have very few of the books, pamphlets, magazines, etc. that are here listed. We have moved so frequently in past fourteen-that it was years-twenty-two times in the impossible to keep any such backlog in hand, even had I wanted to. So I thank Mary Novik very much indeed for recalling all of them to me. Her conscientiousness has been an act of extraordinary generosity.

Introduction
When new writers start to define themselves, they do so by exploring their likes and dislikes in the writing world-a world they are hopeful of one day entering. At the same time they work at their own writing and look for ways to make more of the things they like therein. In the late forties Robert Creeley found himself reading and writing toward a possible entry to this much admired world, though like any system which has come to surety on its own terms it was protective: an edifice with few occupants a young writer could identify with. But like other establishments this one had its undergroundtracing back to Imagism and Objectivism-and two significant underdogs, Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams, who were to become the saints of a new calendar. Finding no place in a literature dominated by New Criticism and the academy, young writers in search of an alternative banded loosely together between the covers of tentative little magazines such as Wake, Accenf, Goad, MontevaZZo Review, and Golden Goose. Many of the new writers overreacted and tossed out craftsmanship along with restraints on poetic form and subject matter, but some few such as Creeley and Charles Olson, who had begun to correspond in April 1950, followed Pound's advice and Williams' example and "made it new" with a strict attentiveness to the articulation of their given content. The demands to be made on their writing by their new poetics
were hit upon in Olson's procreative essay "Projective Verse," which in late 1950 confirmed their sense of being a push forward from the achievement of Pound and Williams. The second part of this essay had been rehearsed by Olson in visits to Pound at St. Elizabeth's, and the first part, significantly, in letters to Creeley. During 1950 Creeley was determining that "form must never be more than an extension of content" and that content must never be more or less than an extension of the self. This extension or projection into words demanded nothing less than the poet's full life in the work. Creeley wrote to Olson in August 1950: "This is the only way that occurs to me: myself, and the variations possible upon my experience. . . .I ask only this exactness . . . to have no hesitance between what the head is thinking and what the hand is putting down." It was an objective he had already met in his short stories and was to exact from his poetry by Spring 1952. With its allowance for change in the face of changing circumstance, it is an aesthetic which has served him well since. New writers usually enter the writing world on avenues of printer's type but these initiates are carefully screened by those whose names guard the title pages of literary journals and chapbooks of verse. In the late forties and early fifties the entry numbers of those in the Pound and Williams underground never came up. Blocked by the system and disappointed in provisional little magazines, Creeley attempted to start his own magazine in the Spring of 1950 and so brought together a network of writers with like concerns which included Olson, Cid Corman, Paul Blackburn, Denise Levertov, and later Robert Duncan, who with Creeley have come to be known as the Origin or Black Mountain poets. When the magazine collapsed Corman picked up Creeley's contacts for Origin (195 1-1957), which with Creeley as talent agent and Olson as PR man and chief theoretician gave the Origin
poets their first sympathetic publication. As well as publishing superb examples of a new and working poetics, Origin was a source or origin for a broad field of writing which came to flower in Black Mountain Review, conceived by Olson and edited by Creeley from 1954 to 1957. In time it will be acknowledged that the years 1950 to 1957 and the corresponding energies of Creeley, Olson, and Corman were as important for contemporary poetry as the years 1910 to 1917 and the Imagists were for modern poetry. The success of Origin was the wedge needed to open up the hoped-for alternative publishing system which centered from 1951to 1954 in Origin, Fragmente, Vou, Contact, CWIn, Black Mountain Review, and Contact, Divers, and Jargon Presses, and was pulled through to 1957 almost unassisted by Jargon, Origin, and Black Mountain Review. The last issue of Bldck Mountain Review in 1957 announced the San Francisco and New York Beat poetry renaissance and ushered in an expansive writing underground allied with the international avant-garde. City Lights, Grove, New Directions, and numerous small presses, along with Evergreen Review, Yugen, Big Table, Measure, and a flock of little magazines, advanced the new poetry to its presentation as an open alternative in Donald Allen's The New Americayt Poetry: 1945-1 960-where it revealed itself as a poetry which defied limitation. Critics were for several years sidetracked by their reduction of the significance of this collection to an attack on the recently anthologized young academic poets. By 1960, however, the battle was only rhetorical, a fact which the new writers were quicker to realize than their opponents: the doors of the academy had been unlocked, and more poets were coming out than going in. A new writing and publishing system had opened up, and young poets read their Olson, Creeley, Levertov, Duncan, and Ginsberg and swarmed to make
xii use of it. In public readings, privately circulated manuscripts, mirneo magazines, broadsides, and booklets, poetry found new avenues to a newly responsive audience, and that audience found the stimulation of real life things in poetry, often for the first time. Projective verse, as most used by serious non-academicpoets today, strives to put the writer fully in the poem in all particularity of speech, emotion, and intellection, with full attention to the life vouchsafed the primary object of the writing. When the trajectory of projective verse has been plotted from its origin in the exchange between Creeley and Olson in 1950 to the last young poets to project their own reality ill the form given to their hand, it will be seen to be the most viable poetics in postmodern writing in English: a new prosody, in fact. Contemporary bibliography has an important function in the critical evaluation of writers brought to recognition by the alternative press phenomenon of the fifties and sixties, since without it many publications would remain unknown to all but the few involved in their production and ownership. The history of Creeley's writing in particular is intimately caught up with the history of the new American writing as it appeared in a succession of fugitive magazines and small press imprints, and an exploration of this connection is essential to an understanding of both. This Inventory, or bibliographical catalog, provides materials for that exploration. It was as much my task to indicate the chronology and geography of Creeley's various appearances in print as it was to find, identify, and inventory the writings so published and the response received. This work thus documents the complex process of publication and criticism by which Creeley has come to be known as a major American poet. Its purpose is to draw attention to the literal substance of Creeley's work and to the tentativeness
of existing criticism in the hope that more extensive and accurate critical attention will be paid him in the future. From 1946 to 1957 Creeley was published mainly by those magazines and presses mentioned above, but principally by Golden Goose, Origin, Bluck Mountain Review, Jargon Press, and his own short-lived Divers Press. It was a period in which he came to definition in a company of like-minded writers, and his involvements with fellow writers, editors, and publishers were intense. In the late fifties and sixties, Creeley was a key contributor to a spectrum of new magazines, many edited by friends, and he was looked to more and more as an example by younger writers. As his connection with individual magazines lessened and the publishing front he was instrumental in founding widened, it became his habit to send work to many of the publishers and editors requesting it, and in this manner he has appeared in an unusually diverse group of books and magazines. Since 1964, frequent broadsides and booklets of his new work have been issued by various small presses-of late often Black Sparrow Press of Los Angeles-as a prelude to their collection in trade editions. Even today, alternative publications of all kinds are more receptive to his work than those with literary pretensions, so much so that his latest writings are as hard to find as his earliest. In 1957 the publication of Creeley's book of selected poems, The Whip, and his first appearance in Poetry magazine signalled his movement out of the underground into academically acceptable circles, and though he had surfaced by 1964--a breakthrough year in terms of critical responsethe under side of the writing world has remained his natural home. Since 1964 he has become increasingly popular in both spheres (traditionally joined in the enthusiasms of university students), largely as the result of the publication of trade editions of hiscollected works and thereadings and lectures which have
xiv exposed him to appreciative audiences at nearly every university in the U.S. and Britain, and many in Canada, Germany, and other countries. Since the publication of For Love in 1962, his collections of new poems and major works of prose have been published regularly by Scribner's of New York and by Calder and Boyars of London, and the Four Seasons Foundation of San Francisco is now issuing additional works. Creeley's poems have been included in every comprehensive anthology of contemporary American poetry, and many translations and foreign editions of his work have appeared in Europe and elsewhere. In recent years his influence on younger writers and their magazines-first evident as a force at Black Mountain College in 1954--has concentrated in geographical centers where he has taught, notably Albuquerque, Vancouver, Buffalo, and now Bolinas and San Francisco. Criticism of Creeley's work, mainly by friends and fellow writers in the fifties, then increasingly by reviewers and literary critics, is still in a preliminary stage of advancing--often grudgingly-the recognition of his stature. The process of academic acceptance of his work which began in earnest in 1964 should by now be almost complete. Most critics agree today that among the poems in For Love (1962) and Words (1967) are some of the most perfect lyrics in the language. Fewer have acknowledged the originality of Creeley's novel, The Island (1963), and his short stories, The Gold Diggers (1965). By 1967 his concern with craftsmanship in both prose and poetry had become an impasse which Creeley struggled to get beyond by experimentingwith more spontaneous writing methods. Pieces (1969) was a technical breakthrough that has proved regenerative, though much criticism of this book has sounded like a peevish monody for Creeley's characteristic short lyric. In these and more recent poems there is a new range, sustenjion, openness, and license in both form and content
which has given ground to his improvisational prose daybooks, A Day Book and Presences, and the radio play Listen. It is to be hoped that Creeley criticism is also ready to move into a second stage, more concerned with serious evaluation of the works themselves and of Creeley's developing technique and aesthetic and more appreciative of his contribution to the new American writing. This Inventory records, assesses, interrelates, and otherwise takes stock of the mass of Creeley material scattered world-wide. It is comprehensive for Creeley's writings published up to the end of 1970 and selective for writings about him and for anthologies which include his work. In addition, it lists many manuscripts and audio-visual works. It is thus more comprehensive and less descriptive than a fully descriptive bibliography, which would have been premature at this point in Creeley's active career. Since the Inventory was compiled with the needs of the literary critic and student in mind, cross references are given freely and three indexes are provided. The material split naturally into four sections, each with a brief introduction. Section I is a preliminary author bibliography. The various editions of Creeley's own books, pamphlets, and broadsides are described and the contents itemized. His contributions to selected books and anthologies are listed, along with audiovisual material that has obtained some circulation. There is a list of uncollected critical writings and interviews, and information on his editing and publishing activities. Section I1 is a checklist of Creeley criticism. It was published, with a critical introduction, in West Coast Review, VI, iii (January 1972), and is here reprinted with the editor's permission. The writings were selected for their usefulness from about twice their number and are divided into essays, short essays, critical reviews, brief reviews, comments, and so forth, to give the reader a strategic approach to the material. In Sections I and I1 the order is
chronological within descriptive categories. Section I11 supplements Section I by giving a publication history for each of Creeley's poems, stories, and critical writings in the order they appear in his collected editions (and for new poems as well), with dates of composition given from the manuscripts with the kind permission of Robert Creeley, Indiana University, and Washington University. Section IV catalogs letters, proofs, and manuscripts of published and unpublished writings, including those by other hands, which have found their way into university libraries. A few additions have been made at the end of the Inventory. The number (followed by a, b, etc.) given for each indicates its place among the other entries. In order to verify entries and expand the Inventory I searched for elusive books, little magazines, and manuscripts at a number of Canadian, American, British, and German libraries. I owe most to those libraries acknowledged in Section IV for their help with books and periodicals as well as manuscripts. The large Creeley collection at Washington University, which includes many little magazines, most of Creeley's books, and a vast array of his manuscripts, was by far the most useful. Since 1967 I have been in almost continuous correspondence with Elsie Freivogel and her successor, Holly Hall, Head of the Manuscript Division. Their assistance has been invaluable, especially during my visit to the library. Locally, I made good use of the fine contemporary literature collection at Simon Fraser University and the general collection at the University of British Columbia, where the Inter-Library Loan st& patiently solicited photocopies of many magazine publications from other libraries for me. Much of my search for fugitive items was necessarily carried out by mail. Little magazine editors, small publishers, and fellow admirers of Creeley's writingwho turned up in heartwarming numbers and guises-were especially generous with information when confronted by my
insistent questions. I thank them all again for their help and for their continuing interest. The work was a joy for that and other reasons. This Inventory was compiled as a large part of my doctoral dissertation at the University of British Columbia. I am grateful for the extensive assistance given by H. R. MacMillan Family Fellowships and a Canada Council Doctoral Fellowship. The Inventory has been published with the much appreciated help of a grant from the Humanities Research Council of Canada, using funds provided by the Canada Council. I would like to thank my husband, Orest, for his encouragement, Warren Tallman, for his inspiration, and Robert Creeley, for his many kindnesses. MARYNOVIK Vancouver, British Columbia 8
I. Works by Robert Creeley
This section and Section I11 together list all Creeley's works published up to 1970 in each edition, reprint, and translation that has been found, whether published separately or in books, anthologies, and periodicals-with the exception of reprintings in some recent anthologies. Section 111gives the detailed publication history of individual writings which have been collected-with the exception of the new poems published since Pieces, 1 9 6 F i n t o trade editions described in this section. Much of Creeley's nonfictional prose has been published by the Four Seasons Foundation in A Quick Graph: CoNected Notes G Essays, 1970. Additional works are listed in Section B below. All of Creeley's poetry and fictional prose written to September 1968 which he has wished to publish has been collected in the trade editions published in the U.S. by ~ciibner's (For Love: Poems 1950-1960,1962; The Island, 1963; The Gold Diggers, 1965; Wordr, 1967; Pieces, 1969) and by the Four Seasons Foundation (The Charm: Early and Uncollected Poems, 1969). The latest Scribner's publication, written A Day Book, 1972, is a daybook of prose and between October 1968 and June 1971. These are the definitive editions of Creeley's work, and in particular The Island, Words, Pieces, and A Day Book are integral works in which the order of the writing is preserved. In Britain, The Gold Diggers, The Island, and The Cham are published by Calder and
Boyars, who also publish Creeley's collected poems in two volumes: Poems 1950-1965, 1966, and The Finger: Poems 1 9 6 6 1969, 1970 (together collecting the poems in For Love, Words, and Pieces, and some new poems). In Sections A and B below an asterisk indicates that the work was published for the first time. At times this is a calculated guess. In the case of simultaneous publication or uncertain dating two publications may be designated as first. All publications in periodicals may be traced through the Index to Periodicals and all publications of individual poems through the Index to Poems.
A. Publications of Poems, Stories, Novel 1. Separate Publications The descriptions given in this section are based on the books themselves with additional information supplied from publishers' letters and other sources. (It should be noted that it is not the policy of Calder and Boyars to reveal the number of copies printed.) The information in the first paragraph of each entry is taken from the book-from the title leaf, imprint, and colophon-unless it is supplied in square brackets. [Square brackets are used throughout the Inventory to supply information not on the original, especially dates and titles, and to identify editorial comments not strictly concerned with publication history.] The pagination given in the second paragraph of each entry ignores blank leaves and leaves containing only advertisements at the beginning or end of the book. Pages are counted from the first to the last printed page, including any blanks or illustrations within. When the page
numbers of paged books do not add up to this total, additional pages are noted in square brackets. When the pages are printed on one side only, the book is described by leaves rather than pages. All known issues, bindings, and special copies are noted briefly in one entry for each edition of the work. The works are listed in the order they were published. In the case of trade editions the date of publication is a publicity date which may have allowed several weeks' time for bookstores and selected reviewers to receive copies shipped previously. For small press works the date of publication may be an official date, the date of the actual printing, or an estimated date of appearance. All of Creeley's books published by Scribner's have a code number on the reverse of the title page which identifies the impression (A being first, B second, etc.) ,the date of the actual printing of that impression (month and year), and the printers and binders. All the books with the same code number were run off at the same time and thus constitute a single impression or printing. 1 Le Fou. Columbus, Ohio: Golden Goose Press, October 1952.

D. Audio-Visual Material
A few items should be mentioned here. A letter from Creeley to Raymond Souster was read on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation program "Modern Canadian Poetry" in the "Extension" TV series (audio recording 670507-8, CBC Program Archives) . Jack Nicholson's movie, Drive, H e Said (released 197I ) , based on Jeremy Larner's novel, took its title from Creeley's poem "I Know a Man." A number of programs about Creeley were broadcast over German radio stations; see 1205. See also the audio-visual works listed as 159168, 1020-1026. There are no doubt other audio-visual works concerning Creeley which have had a limited circulation. Many of Creeley's own books and writings in periodicals are accompanied by photographs of the author. Additionally, a number of photographs of Creeley appear with writings about him. Those that are recorded are mentioned in the individual entrtes. 449 Stan Brakhage. T w o : CreeleylMcClure. 1965. Color film, silent, 16 mm., 5 minutes.

III. Publication History of Individual Writings by Robert Creeley
This section gives a detailed publication history for each of Creeley's collected stories, poems, and critical writings, in the order they appear in the Scribner's and Four Seasons Foundation trade editions which are described in Section I. His new poems since piece^, 1969, are also listed. (The publication histories of Creeley's uncollected critical writings and interviews are given in Section I.) Throughout this section the first publication of a work is indicated by one asterisk and the first collection by two. At times this is a guess calculated on the information available, and in the case of simultaneous publication or uncertain dating two publications may be so marked. When the first publication of a poem occurred in one of Creeley's books of poems this is the first collection as well. When a number of works were first published or collected in the same book this fact may be noted in the introduction to the subsection. For the prose, all publications (including reprintings) and manuscripts are noted in the entries or introducGohs. All publications in periodicals and first -publications and collections in books are listed for poems, but the Index to Poems must be used to trace manuscripts and reprintings in books. All translations of both prose and poetry are given in the individual entries. To trace publications in a particular journal, see the Index to Periodicals.
