The Parnassus: Poetry in Review Records (1971-1996) consist mostly of general and editorial correspondence and revised and corrected typescripts, authors' galleys, and page proofs of pieces which appeared in the magazine. The correspondence also traces editor Herbert Leibowitz's personal and professional relationships with many notable and aspiring writers, poets, critics, artists, and academics. The records include additional editorial files, such as interoffice communications and readers' reports, typescripts of rejected or otherwise unpublished submissions to the magazine, art and photographs, administrative and financial files, and sound recordings.
