Content Summary:

Notebooks kept by Porter containing drafts of poetry, plays, reviews, sketches and other writings. The notebooks are arranged in two sections: poetry notebooks (arranged chronologically) and general notebooks (arranged in the order in which they were listed by Porter). There is some overlap in content between the two sections. Many of the notebooks have been written in from both ends of the book towards the middle.
