John Conley Papers, 1934-1993

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/ft629005t6

John Conley was a scholar, educator, short story writer, poet, and translator. He was a student of Yvor Winters and remained a lifelong friend of Winters and his wife, Janet Lewis. As a student at Stanford, he met and became the lifelong friend of J.V. Cunningham. In addition to carrying on a correspondence, Cunningham sent him many manuscripts (some 84 of them) of his poems and verse translations that are included among the papers. Additionally, at Stanford and also at Berkeley, Conley became acquainted with the scholar, poet, and novelist, Howard Baker (a large number of whose manuscripts are among the papers) and the poet, Lincoln Fitzell (a fair number of whose manuscripts, most of them signed, are also among the papers). Conley published fiction in a journal edited by Alan Swallow, two of whose letters are present.
