Throughout the pages of Jim Harrison: Early Poems, a young, ambitious poet engaged with a wide range of subjects, styles and forms, sounding for voice and vision in lyrics, prose poems, long suites, and propulsive ghazals. Jim Harrison called poetry "the true bones of my life." Jim Harrison: Early Poems contains every poem that appeared in his first five books of poetry, all published before his breakthrough novella trilogy, Legends of the Fall. As Colum McCann writes in his generous introduction, "Jim Harrison: Early Poems showcases the poems of the early years. Harrison gets us--his readers--to have a hard look at ourselves primarily because he opens up his internal tuning fork to all sorts of sounds and ideas. There is enormous bravery here." Throughout these pages a young, ambitious poet engages with a wide range of subjects, styles and forms, sounding for his voice and vision in lyrics, prose poems, long suites, and propulsive ghazals. Regarding the poetry written during this period, Publishers Weekly called Harrison, "an untrammeled renegade genius," noting that he was "a poet talking to you instead of around himself, while doing absolutely brilliant and outrageous things with language."

A selection of his favorite columns and articles over the last ten years arranged by subject.

The Jim C. Warren papers contain records documenting his various projects and roles as the founder of the West Coast Computer Faire, a publisher of computing-related periodicals, an engineer, and a political activist. The largest series in this collection relates to Warren's coordination and administration of the Computer Faire and contains material on the Faire's exhibitors, speakers, and administration. The collection also holds records from Warren's more independent projects, especially his political work relating to public access to digitized legislative and political records, rights of privacy, and online security. Warren's computing and engineering projects are also featured--some from his work as a programming consultant early in his career. A small amount of Warren's independent projects are also featured in the series of his personal papers, which also contain personal correspondence, records from his education, primarily from his time at Stanford, and documentation of his participation in various user groups and professional organizations. Published periodicals and material related to their production make up a significant amount of this collection--including some started by Warren. Material in the collection relating to publications that Warren founded, edited, and published document DataCast magazine, Dr. Dobb's Journal, Silicon Gulch Gazette, Jim's Industry Notes, Intelligent Machines Journal (precursor to InfoWorld), and the Peninsula Citizens' Advocate. Publications in the collection that Warren was not directly involved in managing include a variety of newsletters from computing user groups and clubs and technical papers and reports mostly published under academic institutions. The collection also contains promotional material, catalogs, and brochures published by various companies--with a significant quantity by Apple. The last two areas of the collection, which are both organized by company, are manuals and DEC records. This collection contains manuals from over 130 companies and institutions. The companies that are most represented in terms of quantities of manuals are Apple and Microsoft. The DEC records also contain DEC-published manuals as well as promotional material, program listings, and correspondence and proceedings from the DEC Users Society (DECUS).
