Holy Door records, 1965-1966.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/173259846

This collection contains about 155 manuscripts, mostly typed, covering all but eight of the poems and essays published in the Holy Door, a little magazine which was the apparent successor to James Liddy's Arena. Also included are approximately thirty unpublished manuscripts and 140 items of correspondence, mostly concerning publication of, and payment for, submissions to the magazine. Much of the correspondence is from the contributors to publisher Brian Lynch, although there are some letters addressed to James Liddy as well. There are also copies of the three issues of the magazine (one a xerox copy), and a photograph of Brian Lynch and three others.
