Scope and Content

The Hugh J. Schwartzberg Poetry Collection is comprised of original poems by poets both nationally and internationally known and of the papers of the Modern Poetry Association, of which Mr. Schwartzberg was a Trustee.

The Schwartzberg Poetry collection has been organized into the following series:

  • Series 1: Poets
  • Series 2: Modern Poetry Association
  • Series 3: Video
  • Series 4: Audio
  • Series 5: Art

When this Collection was received, the Poet Series was organized, into two subseries. The first subseries contains works by the donor, Mr. Schwartzberg. The second subseries includes poems by other poets arranged in alphabetical order by poet name. This organization has been preserved. The documents range from sketchy drafts to published poems. Other materials include book reviews, greeting cards, copies of journal entries, newspaper clippings, essays, art work, and fliers. In compliance with the terms of deposit, work by poet Harriet P. Marcus has been closed to researchers until her death.

In accordance with the donor's wishes, no part of this collection can be reproduced in any way without the permission of the poet.

The Modern Poetry Association Series follows the Poet Series and is primarily concerned with fundraising for the Association in order to sponsor poetry events. The minutes of the Board of Trustees meetings also appear.

In conjunction with the Poetry Series there is a large Video Series. 98 video recordings of poets reading their own work were taken at various venues, primarily within Chicago. In some cases, this is the only known footage of these individuals performing their work. If there exists a video recording of an artist whose work is included in the Poet Series, the relevant video number is indicated following the folder title. Researchers should take care to search both lists, however. Sound and picture quality vary.

The Audio Series consists of 44 phonograph records of poetry. In most cases the recording is of poets reading their own work, but there are also recordings of actors and poets reading other poets' work. 43 of the 44 albums are in 12" format, one is in 10" format. For preservation purposes, all recordings have been copied onto audio cassettes and can be listened to in the Reading Room. The original record sleeves can be paged by the researcher however, as there are frequently biographical notes and other information on the sleeve itself. Two indexes have been produced for this series: one is a list of each of the 44 albums by title; and the second is a list of poets, arranged alphabetically by last name, whose work appear on these albums.

Mr. Schwartzberg also donated a number of signed books of poetry, which are held by Special Collections. For a complete list of these titles, please see the finding aid binder in the Special Collections Reading Room.

Series 4: Audio

The Audio Series consists of 44 phonograph records of poetry. In most cases the recording is of poets reading their own work, but there are also recordings of actors and poets reading other poets' work. 43 of the 44 albums are in 12" format, one is in l0" format. For preservation purposes, all recordings have been copied onto audio cassettes and can be listened to in the Reading Room. The original record sleeves can be paged by the researcher however, as there are frequently biographical notes and other information on the sleeve itself.

There are two indexes for this series. The first lists the albums by title. After the title is the name of the poet whose work is featured, followed by the call number. To page any of this material the patron must use the call number. The second lists all the poets featured in this series alphabetically by last name. Following each name is the number of the album(s) in which their work is featured. Researchers must then go to the first index, the Album Title guide, to get the call number.
