- A collection of publications and materials about and by Lansing-area local authors, gathered by staff of the Lansing Public Library and the Capital Area District Libraries over the years. The majority of the collection is poetry chapbooks or smaller independently-published items. There are several editions of locally-compiled and published educational booklets, as well as sheet music and lyrics, small memoirs, articles and short stories, and sometimes correspondence concerning a particular piece of writing in its file. The collection is broken into three series: Individual Publications, Group Publications, and Other Local Author Related Material. This collection is added to on an ongoing basis. If you are an Ingham County author or publisher, or you have written about the greater Lansing area or its people, and you would like to see your work added, please contact the Forest Parke Library and Archives.

- 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.

- Description:
- This series contains digitized versions of a one-hour audio cassette recording the Lansing Poetry Club produced at Lansing Community College in 1982. The purpose of the recording, in part, was to memorialize deceased members. Both sides of the original cassette contained intro and closing music, and Side One includes a brief history of the club during the intro music. The music selections are not identified. Recordings are identified by the title of each piece and the author's name. In the introductory segment, narrator Jim Platte is identified as the producer. He states that 32 poets from the club either read poems or submitted their own to be read by him. Anne Hall Fishell and Elma Hodges served as compilers and editors of the poems included. Bob Clemens was the audio engineer. This series includes 90 audio segments; four are beginning/ending music and 86 are poetry readings. See Link(s) for Side One and Side Two compilation playlists. The collection includes three copies of the audio cassette recordings. Each side of the original cassette audio was copied to an audio CD in .cda format. The files are date stamped 1994. These .cda files from the CDs were converted to .wav and .mp3 by CADL in 2017.
