http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122530501

The papers of Francis Berry, ca. 1928-1961, document Berry's development as a poet from his earliest poetic endeavors to his mature creations and also document his concerns as a critic of poetry. The Poetry series consists of manuscripts of Berry's poetry and verse drama, including some unpublished work. There are holograph and typed drafts of published poems, most signed and some dated by the author, from Snake in the Moon, Fall of a Tower, The Galloping Centaur, and Morant Bay and Other Poems as well as fragments of "The Iron Christ." Berry's unpublished poems are also well represented. Berry's published and unpublished verse drama is represented by the following works: Beauty and the Beast, Conversation Piece, The Death of Beowulf, Hans and Gretchen, The Harpies, and The Sleeping Beauty. The Critical Works series consists of manuscripts of Berry's critical assessments of specific writers and technical studies of the mechanics of poetic creation. There are holograph and typed notes and drafts of most of Berry's major academic work, including Herbert Read, Poetry and the Physical Voice, Poets' Grammar: Person, Time and Mood in Poetry, and "Shelley and the Future Tense," an article published in Orpheus.
