Scope and Content
From the Collection:
This collection contains typescripts of eleven poems with holographic notes. The poems are signed John Curtis Underwood or J.C.U. They are dated from 1920-1936. All but one have a geographic location, ranging from Los Angeles to London, written underneath the poem.
The poems were found in three different books previously owned by Raymond Jonson and donated to the UNM Library. In the book, Americans, were "Nineteen," "The Pagan," "The Swimming Teacher," and "Surf." In Trails' End, were "Another Year," "Needles," "Gates," and "Pastelle." In Interpreters, were the poems "Sports Goods Clerk," "The Collector (Light)," and "Convalescence." Three of the poems, "Convalescence," "The Pagan," and "The Swimming Teacher" were published in Underwood's book Pioneers. "The Pagan" slightly differs from the published version, which is labeled Santa Fe, 11-12-21. There is a poem with the title "Nineteen" published in Interpreters, but it is not the same as the one in this collection by the same title. The published version is labeled Santa Fe, 2/15/36.
