A Hub, a Network, an Archive: 55 Years of International Writers in Iowa City: Sources for IWP history
Archival sources
Most of IWP's documentary history is found in the Engle Papers and the IWP Records. Other contemporary collections include the Hualing Nieh Engle Papers [MsC 903], the Toothpaste/Coffee House Press Records [MsC 461], and the Kim Merker Papers [MsC 805].
- Paul Engle Papers [Special Collections & Archives, MsC 514]: The papers of Paul Engle consist of 70.5 linear feet of records dating from approximately 1929 to 1988 and were transferred to the Special Collections Department at the time of his death in 1991. They document Engle's literary accomplishments, as well as his personal, professional and community interests. The papers are divided into six series: Personal Material, Professional Papers, Correspondence, Writings, Workshops, and Student Works.
- International Writing Program Records [Special Collections & Archives, RG06.0012.009]: Includes annual reports, audiovisual material, "black binders" (typescript drafts for workshop circulation), and participant files for writers up to 1996.
Digital collections
- International Writing Program website: IWP's website includes a list of participating writers with bios, writing samples, and bibliographies for participants since 1996. Audiovisual content includes On the Map interviews with residents and interested readers will also find details on other programs, such as Book Wings and Between the Lines, and projects, like Whitman Web.
- Virtual Writing University Archive (Iowa Digital Library): Includes audiovisual recordings of readings and panels.
- International Writing Program Collection (Iowa Digital Library): Writing samples and panel papers in PDF format.
IWP publications
This bibliography is primarily print material edited by or otherwise sponsored by the International Writing Program since 1967. The Iowa Translations series was the initial major editing project, notably as a national anthology series from the University of Iowa Press, 1970-1984. The series title was also used for translations of single authors published by IWP, without the UI Press, during roughly the same time period. More recently, the 91st Meridian series is co-published with Autumn Hill Books. Similarly, this bibliography includes a section on works published by IWP participants with small press projects in and near Iowa City, including Windhover Press, the precursor to the UI Center for the Book. Within sections, entries are arranged chronologically. Almost all titles are held by the University of Iowa Libraries.
While this bibliography does include a short list of documentary films, it does not include the vast collection of recorded interviews and readings, many of which have been digitized and made available through the Virtual Writing University Archive in the UI Libraries’ Iowa Digital Library, see Digital Collections to the left.
The Iowa Translations series was the initial major editing project, notably as a national anthology series from the University of Iowa Press, 1970-1984. IWP was instrumental in identifying editors and offering various levels of editorial and translation assistance. Correspondence and drafts related to these projects can be found in the Paul Engle Papers, MsC 514. The titles published by UI Press are mostly anthologies by nation of contemporary poetry in translation. The series title was also used for translations of single authors published by IWP, without the UI Press, during roughly the same time period (see the tab IWP as publisher).
