Romantic Landscape, 1950
Subseries Scope and Content Summary
Stanley Kuniholm was born in Massachusetts on June 9, 1912, of Scandinavian and New England ancestry. He graduated from Gardner High School in 1929, and appears then to have become a factory worker. He began writing poetry seriously in 1932. He later attended Tufts College, where he was associate editor of the college literary magazine, The Tuftonian, in 1938, and editor-in-chief in 1940. He later taught high school in North Brookfield and later at Manter Hall School, in Cambridge. He fell in his apartment, and was not discovered for several days, in July 1982; he never fully recovered, and died in Boston in February 1984. Kuniholm and Pucciani met in the 1930s, and remained close friends until Kuniholm's death; from at least the early 1950s Pucciani also provided Kuniholm with financial assistance. The papers in this subseries consist primarily of Kuniholm's letters to Pucciani from December 1951 to January 1953, and copies of Kuniholm's poems, short stories and essays written between 1932 and 1954. Kuniholm's letters and essays give considerable insight into his creative processes.
