Contains documentation of Diamond’s interest, dating from the early 1980s, in the literary output of anthropologists, particularly poetry. Throughout this period, he attempted to organize and publish an anthology of poetry by anthropologists, although was never able to interest a publisher in the project. The bulk of files here were compiled in the course of that effort. Also includes manuscripts and correspondence with poets and poetry reviewers for Dialectical Anthropology. Files include published and unpublished manuscripts, critiques and reviews, with correspondence and work by Gary Snyder, Jerome Rothenberg, Paul Friedrich, and Nathaniel Tarn, among others, as well as Diamond's own poetry. Also found here is material pertaining to conferences organized by Diamond on the theme.
