Joann Cohn Cazden Collection, 1945-1965, (bulk 1945-1948)

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt1r29q0x4

The Joann Cohn Cazden Collection contains letters from Gary Snyder (1930-) to the then Joann Cohn (b. ca. 1930-), Snyder's poems and journal entries, and a small number of photographs and clippings. The collection spans the years 1945 to 1965, but the bulk of it dates 1945 to 1948 from a time when Cohn and Snyder were teenagers in Portland, Oregon. Much of the material has to do with the outdoors, camping, hiking, mountain climbing, love, poetry, and music. After doing her undergraduate work at Stanford University and receiving her MLS from the University of California at Berkeley, Cohn married Robert E. Cazden and lived for many years in Lexington, Kentucky. Gary Snyder, the influential poet, essayist, environmentalist, and lecturer, has written more than twenty books of poetry and prose including his forty-year work (1996) and for which he won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
