Weishaus, Joel, 1939-. Joel Weishaus papers, 1960-2000.

Title: Joel Weishaus papers, 1960-2000.

The papers of Joel Weishaus (poet, sculptor, and writer) relate to his original research and his published and unpublished materials. The collection is divided into three series which reflect Weishaus's commitment to his personal growth as a poet. The first series is entirely comprised of original background notes/notebooks, published and (to date) unpublished materials and letters regarding those works for the period 1960-1984. The second series consists of personal files regarding other literary contemporaries of Weishaus. This series is particularly interesting because it spans the majority of Weishaus's career and concerns as a poet (1965-84). Major files within this series include letters from Robert Bly (1967-71); Marian Mountain (1968-83); Gary Snyder (1965-71); and William Witherup (1968-83). The final series reflects Weishaus's interest in the Trappist monk philosopher Thomas Merton and the publication of Merton's work "Woods, Shore, Desert: A Notebook, May 1968." This 1982 Museum of New Mexico publication includes photographs by Merton and an introduction and notes by Weishaus. An addition, processed in August, 1997 contains manuscripts including "Deeds and Sufferings of Light: The Aesthetic of Nuclear Technology," "Generating Whispers," and "Reality Dreams: A Metalogue." The addition also contains miscellaneous correspondence.

Correspondents include Floyce Alexander, Carol Berge, Wendell Berry, James Bertolino, Alan Brilliant, Paul Hannigan, Geof Hewitt, David Ignatow, David Madden, Howard McCord, Paul Metcalf, Robert Morgan, Paul Pines, Henry Roth, Max Steele, Peter Wild, William Witherup, and Arthur Yanoff. Interspersed in the correspondence are several versions of a prospectus directed at potential funding sources and retailers and a few grant applications to government agencies and other sources of funding. There is also a brief essay entitled, "Why We Killed a Perfectly Healthy Literary Magazine," in which Banks and Matthews discussed the reasons for shutting "Lillabulero" down after the 14th issue.
