Lansing Poetry Club Collection

Description:

The Lansing Poetry Club was formed in 1938 as an outgrowth of an evening poetry-writing class that was taught by Marjorie Rey Hanhardt. The club held its first meetings at Grove's Dinette in Lansing, and Mira T. Moore was its first president. The club published an annual yearbook beginning in 1939 as well as occasional anthologies; the first of those, entitled "Tapers," is not included in this collection and club members have identified it as missing. There are other gaps in the run of yearbooks as well. A 50th anniversary history book in this collection, "The Lansing Poetry Club, The First 50 Years: A History and Anthology" contains a section outlining the history and activities of the club over the years. Most of the available yearbooks have been digitized by CADL, as has a group of poetry readings from 1982 done by members of the club. The entire collection's contents are identified in the Container List; digitized items are linked from the Child Records.
