Published Correspondence
- Special Note: Wallace Anderson intended to publish, in probably five volumes at the Harvard University Press, the complete correspondence of Robinson. Before Anderson's untimely death, he transcribed approximately eighty percent of the known letters of Robinson. Fortunately Anderson's heirs presented his massive archive to the Special Collections Department at Colby College in 2002 where it is available to scholars. Scott Donaldson has mined this collection in preparation for A Poet's Life.
