 Series — Multiple Containers

Scope and Contents

Poetry and Related Material includes Bryner’s writing notebooks, drafts and final copies of books, supporting research for her books, programs from stage adaptations and poetry readings, recordings of stage adaptations of Blind Horses and Lift, Breathe, Carry, awards ceremony programs, and more. There is extensive supporting research for her book Tenderly Lift Me: Nurses Honored, Celebrated, and Remembered, including recorded oral histories with nurses in both digital and audiovisual formats. Some of the other books featured prominently in the series are Eclipse, Blind Horse, and Smoke: Poems.

Conditions Governing Access

Researchers may access digital and audiovisual materials by requesting to view the materials in person by appointment or remotely by contacting the West Virginia & Regional History Center reference department at https://westvirginia.libanswers.com/wvrhc.

Conditions Governing Use

There are no release forms accompanying the oral history interviews, so the West Virginia and Regional History Center is unable to grant permission for the use of those items outside of research purposes.
