http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122590280

The Poetry series contains manuscripts of Middleton's poems for Nonsequences (1965), Our Flowers & Nice Bones (1969), and Torse 3 (1962). These manuscripts include Middleton's earliest holograph drafts, multiple revised versions, and typescripts of the final version of each poem. The Translations series contains materials for Middleton's translations of Elias Canetti's Kafka's Other Trial: The Letters to Felice (1974) and the Selected Poems of Friedrich Hölderlin and Eduard Mörike (1972). Among the materials for the Canetti translation are a notebook containing a draft of the translation, a corrected photocopy typescript, a corrected advance proof copy, and correspondence between Middleton and Beverly Colman of Schocken Books, concerning editorial matters. Among the Hölderlin/Mörike materials are two notebooks of holograph translations of the poems; notes, a holograph manuscript, and typescripts of the Preface and the Introduction; a carbon copy typescript of the text; a set of page proofs; a set of corrected galleys; and correspondence between Middleton and various representatives of the University of Chicago Press, addressing publication of the book.
