http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122685058

Collection consists of an uncorrected galley proof of The Tennis Court Oath which was published by Wesleyan University Press in 1962. This book of poetry was Ashbery's fourth published volume. Other collections at the HRC containing Ashbery materials are Paul Bowles, Gerard Malanga, Edith Sitwell, and Eugene Walter. The one letter from Ashbery in the Bowles collection is to Jane Bowles in 1965, and discusses his magazine Art & Literature. The Sitwell collection contains one letter from Ashbery in 1955 which expresses his appreciation to her regarding his magazine and his pleasure at meeting W. H. Auden. The Walter collection contains an undated typed copy of Ashbery's poem, "Why We Forget Dreams," which is signed on the verso. Nine letters to Malanga date from 1963 to 1965 and discuss their work and the content of Art and Literature, as well as personal exchanges. In the Malanga collection there are also two postcards from Ashbery to Andy Warhol (1964-65) thanking him for a party and sending his greetings.
