Archives. 1968-1969.

Consists of the archives of the short-lived Pierrepont Press, founded in Brooklyn, N.Y., by Harvey and Linda Tucker who planned to produce limited editions of poetry by American authors. Books by Cid Corman, Larry Eigner, Michael McClure, Toby Olson, Jerome Rothenberg, Clayton Eshleman, Harvey Tucker, and Diane Wakoski were planned; however, problems with outside printers caused the press to go out of business after the production of only one book, Harvey Tucker's Pieces of the clock (1969). The collection includes correspondence and manuscripts from each of the authors involved, editorial matter, business records, and a short history of the press by Harvey Tucker.

124 items (4 boxes) ; 8 x 40 x 28 cm.
