Dream Poems

Manuscript and typescript drafts, [1951]-[1969], of poetry by Clifford Dyment, consisting mostly of drafts of twenty-six of the twenty-eight dream poems first published in section VI of his Collected Poems (London, 1970), pp. 89-106 (ff. 2 verso, 5 verso, 6 verso, 9-94, 96-104, 106-109).
Also included are a few additional poems, most apparently unpublished; these comprise 'The Found Postman' (f. 46 verso), 'The Trap' (f. 95), 'The Thames' (ff. 105, 108), 'The Crow' (f. 108; published in Fur, Feather and Fin (London, [1968]), p. 71), 'Crucifixus' (f. 109; published in Poems 1935-1948 (London, 1949), p. 22), 'The Worm is near its Victory' (f. 109), 'Strict Life Takes Toll' (f. 109), 'The Shadow in the Corn' (f. 110), 'Harvest' (f. 111), 'The Dumble' (f. 112), 'Landscape' (f. 113) and 'The Off-beat' / 'The Tramp' (ff. 114-115). The presence of a draft foreword (ff. 4-7), notes (f. 8) and title page, 'Poems in the Night' (f. 20 verso), gives an indication of Dyment's intention to publish the dream poems as a separate volume. Most of the poems are listed, in Dyment's hand, on ff. 1-2. Some of the poems are written on the backs of old letters and circulars, as well as fragments of a typescript for his autobiography The Railway Game (London, 1962) (ff. 33-35, 45, 55, 73, 75-76, 81, 92, 96, 99-101, 104, 114-115, versos only) and the beginning of his introduction to the first edition of Robert Greacen's autobiography, Even Without Irene (Dublin, 1969) (f. 4 verso, 12 verso).

Miscellaneous papers

Miscellaneous papers of Clifford Dyment, 1951-[late 1960s], comprising the first five pages of a typescript prose story entitled 'She Wanted to Pick Bluebells' (ff. 1-6); a typescript autobiographical fragment entitled 'I / dep. Nottingham (Victoria)', possibly the beginning of his follow-up to The Railway Game (London, 1962), [late 1960s] (ff. 7-9); a typescript page, apparently of a voiceover script for a television programme concerning animals, [?1960s] (f. 10); a manuscript piece beginning 'We are none of us the same person always', [mid 1960s] (f. 11); a rough draft of a poem, [mid 1950s] (f. 12); miscellaneous notes (ff. 13-20), containing references to Turgenev's 'The Torrents of Spring' (f. 14) and to Germany and the Nazis (ff. 15-20); and a letter, 1 April 1953, from E. N. Hogben of the Religious Drama Society apparently concerning Dyment's play 'Mr Everyman' (f. 21).
