Description
The Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library of Emory University has extensive book and manuscript holdings documenting the Irish literary revival and 20th century British and Irish poetry. The Rose Library's Irish literary revival collections are strong in manuscripts and books related to W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, Maud Gonne, and others of their circle. Within the broad field of 20th century poetry, the library has special strength in the literary archives of the Belfast Group poets (Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Michael Longley, among others), poets from the Republic of Ireland, and post-World War II British poets notably Ted Hughes. The library also holds the publisher’s archive of the Gallery Press, which includes correspondence and manuscript materials related to a broad array of contemporary Irish poets and playwrights.

Over the course of 30 years, Raymond Danowski amassed what was likely the largest private collection of poetry. In 2004, he decided to place his library at Emory University. In 2008, he reflected back on what motivated him to start collecting poetry and why he chose Emory. Since fall 2005, The Raymond Danowski Poetry Library's curator Kevin Young has directed a reading series that has already boasted some of the best poets from America and abroad, from Sonia Sanchez and Simon Armitage to National Book Award-winner Lucille Clifton, Inaugural Poet Elizabeth Alexander, and Pulitzer Prize–winners Galway Kinnell, Rita Dove, and Emory’s own Natasha Trethewey.
