Scope and content

Series consists of records documenting Davis’ creative writing, including poetry, though with a particular focus on his science fiction work. Material includes both drafts and typescripts of short stories, correspondence with authors and publishers, some poems, and Davis’ publication, “Blitherings”. Additionally, some files cover science fiction generally, through either conferences he attended, reflections on the genre, and the small collection of Art Widner's YHOS fanzine. Some publishing documentation covers, “It Walks in Beauty,” Davis’ 2010 compilation of prose, essays, and an interview with Josh Lukin.
