Five manuscript notebooks kept by Piero Heliczer between 1960 and 1962, together with a spiral bound sketchbook containing 28 collages dating from the same period.
The notebooks are written in different inks and pencil and range from student composition books to a marbled hardcover journal embellished with collages and paint. Heliczer worked from both ends in four of the notebooks, using the front mainly for composition, and the back mainly for notes, such as details of the distribution and sales of his publications. The entries range from fully composed poems and prose writings, almost all of them unpublished, to working drafts, fragments, observations and aphorisms. Between them they contain more than 250 pages of holograph text, and span the period Heliczer spent living in London.....
