Manuscripts of Hirschman's Requiem and Hunger; typescript translations of Russian writer Alexander Kohan; Charles Bukowski ephemera.

The Hirschman papers are composed of two boxes of manuscripts and one box of Hirschman's personal collection of Charles Bukowski ephemera, including signed limited editions of various publications. The Hirschman manuscripts date from 1962-1982, though many are undated. The translation manuscripts are often printed side-by-side with the foreign language original, which gives the reader insight into the metamorphosis of poetry from one language to another. Correspondences range from editors' tirades to detailed and often warm communiques from the poets with whom Hirschman worked. Of particular interest is one large collection of letters about the creation of an anthology of Artaud, including the translations of Hirschman, Anaïs Nin, and others.
