Note

The Philip Levine Collection of Papers contains all of the poet's writings from the latter half of 1993 to 2008, documenting Levine's creative process in notes, drafts, and fair copies. Formats include loose leaves of notes and notebooks, manuscripts, typescripts, proofs, and galleys; also present are incoming and outgoing correspondence (personal, professional, and business), numerous photographs, works by others, and clippings, programs, articles, and other printed ephemera.
In 1995, Philip Levine received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (for The Simple Truth); he also won three National Endowment for the Arts grants in poetry, two Guggenheim fellowships in poetry, the Award of Merit from the National Society of Arts and Letters, the American Book Award, the Frank O'Hara Memorial Prize, and the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize. He has taught at Fresno State University, New York University, Tufts University, and Vanderbilt University, and he has been a visiting writer at the University of Cincinnati, Princeton University, Columbia University, Vassar College, Brown University, the University of Alabama, and the University of California, Berkeley, as well as writer in residence at the National University of Australia at Canberra. In 2011, he was appointed Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress.
Access to Philip Levine's personal journals is restricted for his and his wife's lifetimes.
Incoming correspondence, both personal and professional, comprises letters from almost 4000 individuals (including family memebers), institutions, periodicals, and universities. Letter writers include Edward Hirsch, Mark Jarman, Donald Hall, Garrett Kaoru Hongo, Donald Justice, Robert Mezey, Sharon Olds, David St. John, Gerald Stern, Mark Strand, C. K.
