- South Carolina Poetry Archives
The South Carolina Poetry Archives at Furman University is a collection of published works, manuscripts, and ephemeral materials from over seventy authors. It is housed in Greenville, South Carolina, at the Special Collections and Archives department of the James B. Duke Library.
Purpose
Started in 2005, the archives highlights 20th and 21st century poets connected to South Carolina by birth, employment, residence, or subject matter. Among the most extensively collected authors are Gilbert Allen, Claire Bateman, Phebe Davidson, Kurtis Lamkin, and Ronald Moran. The collection includes works of all South Carolina poets laureate, literary fellows selected by the South Carolina Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts, Pushcart Prize winners, Piccolo Spoleto Fiction prize winners, and recipients of many other awards.
In the context of Furman University's emphasis on "engaged learning," the Poetry Archives also provides a gateway for university students. Furman professors draw on the manuscripts, correspondence and ephemeral materials made available in the collection to integrate South Carolina poetry into their curricula and acquaint students with the construction and publication of poetry.
