Box 1 Folder 2

Box 1 Folder 3
Invitations by D'Arcy Hayman, 30 invitations
[Hayman regarded her invitations as works of art, with decorated borders, drawings, and calligraphy. Interestingly, perhaps because she regarded them as artwork, Hayman saved only her own writings to correspondents. There are no letters or invitations "to D'Arcy Hayman" in the collection. ]
Series II. Manuscripts
Poems are arranged in order by date (where available), so please do not disturb the sequence. The first poem in Box 2, Folder 8, was later included by its subject, Buckminster Fuller, in his book Synergistic Stew. Most of Hayman's poems, like her invitations, are decorated with illustrations and calligraphy. She uses this method of presentation - combining word and image - in her collection from 1969, Embrace Me Universe.

Series III. Scrapbooks
Note to 530 and 531: These are the original pages of the scrapbook in numbered order to preserve the unity of the artifact. Where possible, elements in need of preservation were removed to other parts of collection, including Box 3 and logically cross-referenced with the folders in these flat boxes. The reader will want to pay special attention to the drawings from Hayman's art classes at UCLA. By contrast, with her later abstract and primitivist work, many of these college drawings are modeled on fashion magazine art
