Biographical/Historical Note

Born Eugene Baroff, in 1924 in New York City, to Benjamin and Zissell Baroff. Graduated with a B.A. from the University of Florida (1947), he remained at the University for approximately ten years as a graduate student, instructor, and curator of the University Library's Creative Writing Collection. During this period, he became close friends with the novelist Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and lived in her home at Cross Creek from 1952 until he left Florida. He began calling himself Gene Baro about 1950. He taught English at Bennington College from 1958-1963. From about 1950, Baro was an active literary figure, publishing short stories and especially poetry in numerous journals, as diverse as Botteghe Oscure and The New Yorker. He was a regular book reviewer for the Book Review of the New York Herald-Tribune from 1951-1961 and edited two literary anthologies. His major poetry collection was published as "Northwind" in the anthology-series Poetry Today VI (1959).

In 1963 he removed from Bennington for several years to England, where he was a lecturer for the United States Information Agency, a broadcaster for the British Broadcasting Corporation, and a correspondent for several publications. By the time he returned to the United States in 1969 or 1970, he seems largely to have abandoned literary endeavors and spent most of the remainder of his life in the art world as a writer, educator, and museum and exhibition curator. He was especially noted for his work in arranging major museum exhibitions. Positions included curator of the Corcoran Gallery, consultantships with the Brooklyn Museum, the Carnegie Institute Museum of Art, and teaching at Williams College. He died of cancer, November 15, 1982, in Old Bennington, Vermont. (Partially based on John Russell, "Gene Baro, 58, Organizer of Art Exhibitions," New York Times, November 16, 1982, D25.)

Scope and Content

Primarily correspondence to Gene Baro from a wide assortment of friends and literary and artistic colleagues, some of his own letters, manuscript and published writings, and personal documents, including a few photographs, throughout Baro's adult lifetime, although bulk is from 1950 to 1965.

Most of the correspondence is from the period when Baro was at the University of Florida and Bennington College and may be regarded as primarily personal correspondence from friends, "professional" literary correspondence from publishers, editors, or other writers, and correspondence from literary figures, with whom he developed friendships, which may have overlapped with professional connections. A significant amount of correspondence concerns his activities as curator of UF's Creative Writing Collection.

Notable among the correspondents are Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings whose 55 letters constitute an important complement to the University of Florida's large collection of her correspondence. The largest number of letters is from the artist Albert Eugene Stadler, who was Baro's friend from childhood and heir upon his death. Letters from writer Clyde Miller, who lived with Baro at Cross Creek for several years, and UF professor William Carleton, represent two of his most important contacts from the University of Florida. A significant number of third-party letters to Miller are in the Baro Papers. The most prolific professional contact is New York Herald-Tribune Book Review editor Irita Van Doren. Correspondence with almost all literary figures seems to have dropped off by the mid-sixties. The smaller quantity of letters from the last twenty years of his life relates to his art endeavors and is less varied.

Principal correspondents include Robert O. Bowen (about 50 pieces), poet John Malcolm Brinnin (36 items), Princess Marguerite Caetani (38 items), William G. "Bill" Carleton (16 items), anthropological film maker Maya Deren (27 items), a young British friend, Dallas Edmonds (45 items), UF friend Stanley Fouraker (17 items), novelist Marianne Hauser (12 items), Colin Haycoft (12 items), John Clellon Holmes (15 items), Don. R. Howard (12 items), bookseller and publisher George Kirgo (10 items), landlord and friends, Mildred and Robert D. Leigh (about 40 items), Allan Lewis (10 items), David Loovis (14 items ), British journalist Roger Machell (28 items), Wallace Meyer (15 items), Clyde Miller (62 items), poet and editor Howard Moss (24 items), UF English professor Ants Oras (15 items), poet Bob Pack (16 items), Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (55 letters) and her husband Norton Baskin (32 letters), poet and Stand editor Jon Silkin (10 items) , Albert Eugene Stadler (150 items), John and Ruth Stephan (32 items), British bookseller David Watmough (30 pieces), poet and editor John Hall Wheelock, (28 items), and novelist Marguerite Young (28 items).

Notable literary names in the correspondence, but in lesser quantities include Robert Bly, Paul Bowles, Kay Boyle, Truman Capote, James T. Farrell, Randall Jarrell, James Jones, Henry Miller, Marianne Moore Howard Nemerov, William Styron, May Swenson, and Dylan Thomas. Several of these letters regard contributions to the Creative Writing Collection.

There are also large segments of correspondence from various publishers or publications, often signed by well known figures, including American Scholar (21 items, mostly signed by Hiram Hayden), Atlantic Monthly (13 letters), Chtto and Windus (6 items, by C. Day Lewis), Harper's Bazaar (12 letters), Alfred A. Knopf, inc. (13 letters), the Nation (24 letters), New American Library (23 items, principally by Arabel J. Porter), New York Herald Tribune Book Review (about 130 items, mostly by Irita Van Doren), New Yorker (17 letters, mostly by Howard Moss), Poetry (about 40 pieces from Karl Shapiro and Henry Rago), Scribner's (20 items), University of Florida Libraries (45 letters, most by Stanley West, Director).

The manuscript portion of the papers is less rich, but does include a typed manuscript of "Northwind," and of an unpublished collection, "Looking for Winter," as well as several manuscripts of individual poems and short stories.

A detailed calendar has been prepared for some of the correspondence from Baro's closest friends,Albert Stadler and Clyde Miller, and individuals which have a special significance to the UF Libraries and its manuscript collections. These include Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and her husband Norton S. Baskin, and some of the individuals who were among their friends; important figures in the history of the University, such as William Carleton; and the Florida writers, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, also a friend of Rawlings, and Lillian Smith.

Calendared Correspondence: Rawlings, Marjorie Kinnan. Letters to Gene Baro, 1949-1953.
	Consists of letters from the Pulitzer Prize winning author to Baro. Baro and Rawlings apparently became acquainted in 1949, at the time she was preparing to donate her manuscripts and literary correspondence to the University of Florida. Baro was Curator of the UF Libraries Creative Writing Collection. The bulk of the letters were written from Van Hornesville, NY, where Rawlings spent the summers during the last years of her life. Other letters are written from Cross Creek, Crescent Beach, and Gainesville, Florida, Richmond, Virginia, and from New York City, when Rawlings was hospitalized.
	Rawlings was engaged in the writing of her final book, The Sojourner, during the period in which the letters were written. The writing and revision of the novel is one of the major topics of the correspondence. Other topics include the donation of her papers to the University of Florida, her daily experiences in Van Hornesville and elsewhere, including her domestic life and a succession of domestic helpers, visits to and from poet Robert Frost, contact with the Owen Youngs family and other Van Hornesville neighbors, contacts with the dancer Pearl Primus, and friends such as Julia Scribner Bigham and Bee McNeill. Rawlings had several illnesses during the period, which she discusses in the letters. Her husband, Norton Baskin who remained in Florida during the summers, except for short visits to New York, is frequently mentioned. She often discusses her current reading and other writers. The author most frequently referred to is probably Marcel Proust. Letters from Richmond concern her research as the authorized biographer of friend and novelist Ellen Glasgow.
	She was concerned with the progress of her friend Gene Baro, as an aspiring writer, and a good part of the letters concerns his personal well being and that of his friend, Albert Eugene Stadler (Stad), who painted the first portrait of Rawlings.
	The corresponding letters from Rawlings to Baro are found in the Correspondence Series of the Marjorie Rawlings Papers.

Stadler's philosphy of art is discussed, as well as some news from the art world, such as a retrospective exhibition of the work of Jackson Pollock.

Stadler to Baro, 1957 (12 items, including 10 letters, 1 postcard, 1 unaccompanied envelope) [3? Jan. - 19 Oct., New York, Washington]. Letters are written to Baro in London and from June 26 at Cross Creek. Of special interest is a letter postmarked January 7th, which recounts Stadler's recent visit to Florida. Stanley West had told him that Baro's job in the library would be available in July, but that employment in the English Department was uncertain. He also said that there was a problem with Baro's being able to return to live at the Creek. Stadler gives his own objection to this on the grounds that Marjorie Rawlings had "given" him the place, etc. Also relates a similar conversation with UF professor Ants Oras. Saw Norton Baskin and believes he would support Baro. Believes Archie Robertson could resolve problem, if he were willing. Says Gene should return as soon as possible and persuade the UF president of the rightness of his position. Also reports on visits with Stanley Fouraker and Clyde Miller. Other topics are a new gallery, World House, in New York, the travel of someone named Corky [Cristiani?] to England to perform a horse act in the Blackpool Circus and whom Baro saw while she was there, and Stadler's artistic work. Much of the correspondence after Baro's return appears to refer to a movie or television project for which Baro is writing a script, or being considered to do so.

Stadler to Baro, 1958 (5 letters and notes) [17 Feb. - 3 Dec. New York]. Letters from February through May are addressed to Cross Creek, and the December letter to Bennington, VT. Contain some news about personal business, art work, and circus involvement. Says he knows the unhappiness Baro feels about giving up the Cross Creek house.

Stadler to Baro, 1960-1962 (3 items, including 2 letters and 1 postcard) [4 Feb. 1960] - 25 Jan. 1962. [New York, Miami]. Addressed to Bennington, and in 1962 to London. The first letter refers to "old grievances," and suggests there has been some disagreement among the two.

Stadler to Baro, [1950-1952? New York, Long Island City, N.Y.] (7 items, including 6 letters and 1 telegram addressed to Gainesville, Florida. 1 letters is accompanied by a signed letter from Baro to Stadler, asking that it be returned.) Contents regard a possible trip west, his artistic work, and an extended reference to Marguerite [Young?] The letter from Baro concerns a possible suit against someone called "K," apparently over an unpaid note.

Stadler to Baro, [1952 or 3, 195? New York] 2 letters addressed to Cross Creek. One letter asks Baro to give regards to "Marjorie and the Creek people." Death of Kathleen Farrier.

Stadler to Baro, [1956-57? New York] 8 letters, 7 addressed to London and 1 to Paris. News of acquaintances, including Ruth Stephan, Mari Sandoz, etc., new magazine, called Pax, Cristiani's circus, a book sent to Z," Baro's mother, and other miscellaneous news.
