Major titles present include: CIRCLES, AS IN THE EYE (1969), "An Informal Chronograph of Some New York Poets, 1960-1965," POEMS MADE OF SKIN (1968), and "The Vancouver Report" (1964). The bulk of the collection consists of Bergé's extensive correspondence with friends, writers, and editors. The remainder of the collection includes notes and press releases for the numerous benefits in which Bergé participated or organized; notebooks which include, besides addresses and daily schedules, notes and drafts for poems; and Bergé's collection of manuscripts by friends and colleagues. Significant poets represented here include: Paul Blackburn, Fielding Dawson, Ted Enslin, Allen Ginsberg, Anselm Hollo, Robert Kelly, Jackson Mac Low, Margaret Randall, Ed Sanders, Gael Turnbull, and Diane Wakoski. In addition to Bergé's own work and life, the papers touch upon several subject areas: the poetry of the "Beats," the San Francisco poetry renaissance, the New York East Side scene (especially the Deux Megots poets), and early modern feminist trends in poetry.
