http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122385692

The Charles Henri Ford papers consist of typescript and holograph manuscripts, correspondence, postcards, clippings, photographs, financial documents, contracts, invitations, page proofs, prospectuses, journals, and diaries. The Works series contains examples of Ford's published and unpublished poetry, theatrical work, and prose. His published work includes a typescript fragment of ABC'S and typescripts of THE HALF-THOUGHTS, THE DISTANCES OF PAIN, OM KRISHNA I: SPECIAL EFFECTS, THE OVERTURNED LAKE, SLEEP IN A NEST OF FLAMES, and THE YOUNG AND EVIL. Ford's unpublished work includes typescripts of "The Acts," "Confessions of a Freak," "Denmark Vesey," "I Will Be What I Am," "The Labyrinth," "Let's Get Out of Here," "The Poet," "A Record of Myself," "Thirty Variations," "Unhappy Train," and "A World of Women." There is material from an unpublished issue of View, devoted to theater. The Correspondence series includes both outgoing and incoming correspondence. Significant correspondents include Conrad Aiken, W.H. Auden, Djuna Barnes, Sir Cecil Beaton, Karen Blixen, Paul Bowles, Kay Boyle, Ronnie Burk, William S. Burroughs, Jean Cocteau, Joseph Cornell, Leonardo Cremonini, E.E. Cummings, Leonor Fini, Gertrude Ford, Ruth Ford, Allen Ginsberg, Ted Joans, Ray Johnson, Philip Lamantia, James Laughlin, Mary McCarthy, Gerard Malanga, Carmen Marino, Henry Miller, Marianne Moore, Edouard Roditi, Dame Edith Sitwell, Gertrude Stein, Wallace Stevens, Allen Tate, Pavel Tchelitchew, Parker Tyler, Carl Van Vechten, William Carlos Williams, Donald Windham, Bill Wolak, Kathleen Tankersley Young, and Stark Young. The Miscellaneous series includes correspondence to Charles L. Ford, Gertrude Ford, Pavel Tchelitchew, and Parker Tyler from various correspondents, and manuscripts of works by Djuna Barnes, Marius Bewley, Paul Bowles, Jean Cocteau, Jean Genet, Joe Gould, Ted Joans, Philip Lamantia, Jack Lindsay, Norman Macleod, Gerard Malanga, Howard Nemerov, Dame Edith Sitwell, Parker Tyler, and Kathleen Tankersley Young, as well as miscellaneous notes, architectural plans for a beach house, contracts, a royalty statement, certificates of copyright registration, and materials relating to View. The Journals/Diaries series consists almost exclusively of the journals and diaries of Ford from 1932 until 1967, with a few lacunae in the chronological coverage. They chronicle the literary and artistic communities in New York City and Paris and Ford's own creative ambitions and endeavors. Among the important figures mentioned are Kenneth Anger, W.H. Auden, George Balanchine, Djuna Barnes, Cecil Beaton, Paul Bowles, William Burroughs, John Cage, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jean Cocteau, Merce Cunningham, Isak Dinesen, Max Ernst, Leonor Fini, Jean Genet, Peggy Guggenheim, Lincoln Kirstein, Mary McCarthy, Gerard Malanga, Ned Rorem, Edith and Osbert Sitwell, Gertrude Stein, Yves Tanguy, Allen Tate, Parker Tyler, Andy Warhol, Orson Welles, William Carlos Williams, and Stark Young. Ford also documents his private life, including his relationships with his sister, the actress Ruth Ford, her husband Zachary Scott, and the painter Pavel Tchelitchew. Ford records his struggles to force himself to work, the difficulties of finding publishers for his work, his experiences in publishing Blues and View, his experimentation in the visual arts, surrealism in the arts, and playwriting. He also chronicles his experiences while living abroad and in the United States, including impressions of Paris, Athens and the Greek islands, Rome and other cities in Italy, New York City, and the American South. There is frank discussion of homosexuality and the experiences of a gay man in the twentieth century. A later accession includes typescript poems by the poets Ronnie Burk and Bill Wolak.
