Tom Kristensen papers

Scope and Contents

The Tom Kristensen Papers contain various writings and notes by Tom written in Danish between 1923 to 1961 -- presumably in Denmark. Most of the writings are from the 1920s, with a few from the 40's, 50's, and 60's. The collection is organized alphabetically by individual work, most of which are poems. Some folders contain just a handwritten copy of a poem, others contain additional notes regarding the poem, and some contain published copies of the poem, either from newspaper clippings or other sources. Also included are some manuscripts and notes for longer prose works. There is also a non-comprehensive list of titles in the collection -- it is unclear whether the list was written by Tom or someone else. The format for most of the items in the collection are loose papers, but there are also some small volumes.
