Biographical Sketch
Carol Bergé, born in 1928 in New York City, is primarily a poet and
fiction writer. She was educated at New York University, 1946-1952, and at the
New School for Social Research, 1952-1954. Bergé worked as a journalist and
editorial assistant during the 1950s for such organizations as Simon and
Schuster and
Forbes magazine. In 1970 she founded
Center, a magazine for innovative fiction,
and was its sole editor until its demise in 1981. Other journals she has edited
include
The Mississippi Review, 1977-1978, and since
1980,
Shearsman.
She has lectured extensively since the 1970s at such universities as the
University of California at Berkeley, Indiana University at Bloomington, and
the State University of New York at Albany. She has been a board member of
numerous organizations such as P.E.N., Poets and Writers, and the Modern
Language Association. Bergé has also been awarded numerous literary honors.
These include the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation fellowship (1964), several
fellowships-in-residence at the McDowell Colony, and a National Endowment
fellowship for creative writing (1979).
Bergé was a prominent figure in New York's East Village poetry scene of
the late 1950s and 1960s. Her work could be characterized as includingBeat and early feminist elements, but reflects such
diverse influences as Chaucer, Shakespeare, D. H. Lawrence, Dylan Thomas,
William Carlos Williams, and Pablo Neruda. Bergé was involved with poets of
the San Francisco poetry renaissance as well as poets of the
Deux Magots, Le Metro' cafe, and
participated in the multi-media happenings which
characterized New York's East Village poetry scene. She was involved in the
origins of the poetry series at St. Mark's in the Bouwerie Church in Greenwich
Village, which continues to introduce and support contemporary poets. In this
capacity, and as very much a part of an urban avant-garde, she helped organize
a number of important benefits and conferences.
A selection of her early poems was included in Imamu Amiri Baraka's
(LeRoi Jones) 1962 anthology,
Four Young Lady Poets. Her later poems were
frequently anthologized and appeared in numerous important little magazines of
the 1960s-1980s, as well as in journals such as
Poetry and
The Nation. In 1964 the first of a dozen
chapbooks,
The Vulnerable Island, was published. Her
early prose pieces,
The Vancouver Report and
An Informal Chronograph of Some New York
Poetswere published by small presses in 1964 and 1965. The two
chapbooks,
Poems Made of Skin and
Circles, As in the Eye were published in
1968 and 1969. Following the publication of short stories and prose in 1971,
Bergé published
From a Soft Angle: Poems About Women, which
reflected a trend towards women's issues as a focus in writing. Since the
1970s, Bergé has tended to move toward poetic prose and fiction. In 1981 she
published a collection that includes short fiction pieces entitled
One Page Novels. In 1984 she published her
first novel,
Secrets, Gossip and Slander.

Scope and Contents
The Carol Bergé Papers, 1960-1969, include drafts, notes, manuscripts,
galleys, and page proofs of her works, plus correspondence, research materials,
clippings, and contracts. The manuscripts for the two chapbooks,
Poems Made of Skin (1968) and
Circles As in the Eye (1969) are found in
this collection, as are those prose pieces that focus on local histories of
contemporary art/literary scenes and trends. The bulk of the collection
consists of Bergé's extensive correspondence with friends, writers, and
editors. Also included here are notes and press releases for the numerous
benefits in which Bergé participated or organized. The remainder of the
collection includes manuscripts by other authors, most of which were gifts to
Bergé. The materials found in this collection document Bergé's work and life
prior to 1970.
In addition to Bergé's own work and life, the papers touch upon several
subject areas: the poetry of the “Beats,” the San Francisco poetry
renaissance, the New York East Side scene (especially the
Deux Magots poets) and early modern feminist
trends in poetry. This collection could also be an important source for
information on the numerous poets and editors with whom Bergé corresponded.
Significant correspondents include: Imamu Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones), Nelson
Ball, Paul Blackburn, Jerry Bloedow, Robert Creeley, David Cunliffe, Edward
Dahlberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, George Hitchcock, David Ignatow, Lenore
Kandel, Denise Levertov, Gordon Lish, Walter Lowenfels, W. S. Merwin, David
Ossman, Ezra Pound, Margaret Randall, Tom Raworth, Kenneth Rexroth, Ed Sanders,
Diane Wakoski, and Louis Zukofksy. A complete list of correspondents can be
found at the end of this guide.
The collection is arranged in four series: Works, 1960-1969 (1.5 boxes),
Poetry Readings, 1961-1967 (1 box), Poetry Manuscripts Collected, nd (0.5 box),
and Correspondence, 1960-1969 (2 boxes). While the materials have been arranged
into these series, the order of material within folders has generally not been
disturbed.

Series IV. Correspondence,
1961-1969
(2 boxes)
This series consists of extensive correspondence from Bergé's
friends, colleagues, and editors. The majority of the correspondence is in a
loose chronological arrangement from 1962 to 1967. No attempt was made to
change the order of these materials. Remaining correspondence is arranged
alphabetically; individuals for whom there is more extensive material have
separate folder, and there is one general correspondence folder. Bergé often
kept carbons of her own letters and responses with the appropriate incoming
correspondence. Because of this arrangement, no effort has been made to
differentiate between incoming and outgoing correspondence.
These letters could be an important source of information on the
numerous poets and editors with whom Bergé corresponded. The tenor of the
correspondence is often quite frank covering such topics as personal
relationships, lifestyle, and sexual orientation. Bergé tends to confront
intimate friends as well as professional colleagues with demands concerning the
status and publication of her work and her opinions of persons, places and
ideas. Many poetry manuscripts as well as professional and literary criticism
by Bergé and others can be found here. This correspondence reflects a poet who
demands to be heard and valued for her work, as well as a poetic attitude much
admired by the Beats. It is an attitude that
demands a hard, intimate, and unorthodox examination of society and
individuals, as part of a process of rebellion against traditional aesthetics
and morality.
