Description

Title: "Present Moments"
Creator: From the Collection: Schwartz, Delmore, 1913-1966
Published / Created: 1940
Description: Includes several drafts of other poems
Provenance: Purchased from Kenneth Schwartz on the E.J. Beinecke Fund, 1975 and 1981; and from Lame Duck Books on the Carl Van Vechten Fund, 2002. Gift of James Atlas, 1981 and Dwight McDonald, 1982., The Delmore Schwartz Papers contains material of mixed provenance. In 1962, Schwartz left Manhattan to live in Syracuse, New York and abandoned his belongings. An individual hired to move the materials recognized Schwartz's name and stored them for several years until he transferred them to Dwight Macdonald, who was executor of Schwartz's estate. Upon Schwartz's death in 1966 in Manhattan, Macdonald retrieved the remaining papers from his last hotel room. Materials left behind in Syracuse were discovered in 1976 and transferred to the George Arents Research Library. In 1981, these materials were sent to the Beinecke Library to comprise the Delmore Schwartz Papers.
