Papers, 1933-1981.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/45402952

This collection consists of correspondence between Etta Blum and editors of various poetry journals regarding the publication of Etta Blum's original poems. Among the letters congratulating Ms. Blum on the acceptance of her poetry for publication is one from Robert Bly, then editor of The Sixties. Correspondence between Etta Blum and various funding agencies (The Helene Wurlitzer Foundation, the MacDowell Colony, and the Michael Karolyi Memorial Foundation) is also held in this collection. The greatest value of this collection lies in Etta Blum's numerous personal journals containing poetry written in her hand between 1926 and 1980. Some of the poetry from these journals is included in her publications, though most is not. There is poetry recorded on one cassette in this collection as well.
