Holly Prado Papers, 1952 - 2000

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt3199q9f8

The Holly Prado Papers include material spanning the career of poet Holly Prado, from examples of early efforts written in her youth in the 1950s, through her professional work into the late 1990s, with the greatest portion of material dating from the 1970s and 1980s. Prado has been an active, influential member of the Southern California literary community since she moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s, as a poet, educator, and regular participant in live poetry readings and literary events. She has published several collections of her work, and her poetry has appeared in various anthologies, poetry journals, and magazines. She has also contributed essays and reviews to several periodicals, most notably the LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW. Prado's personal journals, dating from 1960 - 1999, make up the largest portion of the collection. Influenced by Jungian psychology, Prado has described journals an important tool for "nourishing" her writing. They record thoughts, experiences, and dreams, and sometimes include drawings, photographs, or ephemera. The second largest group of material consists of poetry, sometimes including more than one draft, annotations, and corrections. The balance of the collection includes personal and professional correspondence, notes, and materials relating to Prado's active involvement with teaching and literary events.
