Biographical Note
Patricia Goedicke (1931-2006) and Leonard Wallace Robinson (1912-1999) met at the MacDowell
Colony in the summer of 1968. According to an article in the February 6, 2000 issue of the
Missoulian, the attraction between Goedicke and Robinson was immediate. Shortly after their
initial meeting, Goedicke moved in with Robinson, who lived in New York City at the time. In
1971, they moved to San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico, and in 1981 they moved to
Missoula, Montana, which became their permanent residence until Robinson’s passing in 1999
and Goedicke’s in 2006.
Leonard Wallace Robinson was born in Malden, Massachusetts, to Henry M. Robinson, Sr. and
Ellen Flynn. The religious affiliations of Leonard’s parents (Henry, a Jewish immigrant, and
Ellen, a Catholic) would play prominently in his unpublished biographical works. Amongst
Leonard’s ten siblings is novelist Henry Morton Robinson (married to Gertrude), author of
The Cardinal. In 1935, Leonard graduated from Columbia
University. Amongst his classmates were Robert Giroux (of Farrar, Straus and Giroux) and
Robert Lax.
Over the next three decades, Robinson held a number of editorial positions, including
editor-in-chief of Colliers magazine from 1956-1957 and executive editor for Rinehart, Holt,
and Winston. Robinson also published a number of journalistic pieces for The New Yorker and The New York Times,
as well as short stories appearing in Harper’s and The New Yorker. In 1950 his short story “Ruin of the Soul” appeared
in Prize Stories, the annual collection of O. Henry Award winning stories. Amongst his early
book length works are The Secret Service Chief, for which
Robinson was a ghost writer, and The Assassin.
Before meeting Goedicke, Leonard married four times. In 1937, Robinson married Frances Fox,
a friend of Anais Nin. Robinson’s second wife was Roseanne Smith, to whom he was married
from 1943-1954. During his second marriage Robinson’s only child, Roderick, was born in
1946. After divorcing Smith, Robinson married Marie Nyswander, a noted psychiatrist.
Nyswander published The Power of Sexual Surrender in 1959 under
the name Marie N. Robinson. The two divorced in 1965. Robinson’s fourth wife was Elizabeth
Barrett, to whom he was married from 1965 until their divorce in 1971.
Patricia Goedicke was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Helen Mulvey and John McKenna,
professor of Neuroanatomy and Psychiatry at Dartmouth College. Patricia had one sibling,
Jean-Marie, who served as a professor of English at the American University in Beirut for
many years. In high school, Patricia was a highly competitive amateur skier and a
contributor to her local newspaper in Hanover, New Hampshire. Patricia published her first
poem in Seventeen in 1947 before attending Middlebury College
from 1949-1953. There she studied under Robert Frost and other Middlebury faculty.
Immediately after college, Patricia worked for Harcourt, Brace and World in New York. While
in New York, she continued to sharpen her craft, attending a series of lectures given by
W.H. Auden at the YM-YWHA (Young Men’s-Young Women’s Hebrew Association).
In 1956, Patricia married Victor Goedicke, a professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Ohio
University, and moved to Athens, Ohio shortly thereafter. In 1958, John Crowe Ransom
accepted three of her poems for the Kenyon Review:
“Proudflesh,” “Calypso,” and “Circumnavigation.” Patricia attained her Masters of Arts at
Ohio University in 1965. While living in Athens, Patricia befriended poet Hollis Summers, as
well as Pat Grean, with whom she edited a local literary journal titled Page One. In 1968,
Harcourt, Brace and World, Inc. published her first book of poetry, Between Oceans.
After moving in with Robinson, Goedicke taught English at Hunter College. Robinson taught
Journalism at Columbia University. In their brief time in New York, Goedicke and Robinson
befriended a number of writers and academics including writers Rosellen Brown, Erica Jong,
and Nancy Klein, journalist Paul Brodeur, Professor of Journalism Larry Pinkham, Professor
of Dramatic Arts Bert O. States, and editor Rust Hills. As stated in an unpublished
interview by Marcia Corbino in 1980, Goedicke and Robinson planned to teach and write in New
York before deciding to move to Mexico where they could live on their savings and dedicate
more time to writing.
During their years in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuanto, Goedicke and Robinson produced a
number of works. From 1971-1981, Robinson wrote a novel titled The Man
Who Loved Beauty, which was published in 1976, as well as a number of poems that
would appear in his first book of poetry In the Whale. Goedicke wrote four books of poetry
during that time: For the Four Corners (1976), The Trail that Turns on Itself (1978), The
Dog that Was Barking Yesterday (1980), and Crossing the Same
River (1980). For Goedicke and Robinson, San Miguel de Allende provided them with a
rich artistic and literary community that consisted of both permanent residents and visiting
writers from the United States, including Robert Phillips, Constance Urdang, Donald Finkel,
Patricia Hampl, James Moore, C.D. Wright, Forrest Gander, and David and Judy Ray.
By 1980, Goedicke and Robinson sought teaching appointments in the United States in order
to have access to better health care in light of Robinson’s cardiovascular condition. During
the 1980-1981 academic year, Goedicke taught Creative Writing at Sarah Lawrence College.
While Goedicke pursued an extension of her contract at Sarah Lawrence, she ultimately
accepted a temporary position for the 1981-1982 academic year at The University of Montana
in Missoula, filling a position previously occupied by Naomi Lazard. In the fall 1982,
Goedicke, along with Paul Zarazyski, helped fill in for the ailing Richard Hugo, teaching
his graduate-level workshop that semester. By 1983, Goedicke began a tenure track position
at The University of Montana that ended with her retirement in 2003.
As professors at The University of Montana, Robinson served as an adjunct in 1989, filling
in for Bill Kittredge as leader of a graduate workshop that included David Allan Cates,
while Goedicke’s career was highlighted by a Distinguished Scholar Award in 1991 and the
2003 H.G. Merriam Award for distinguished contributions to Montana literature. Goedicke’s
students included Sandra Alcosser, Greg Glazner, Jon Davis, Derick Burleson, Debra Kang
Dean, Melissa Kwasny, Sarah Gridley, and Chris Dombrowski.
One notable influence on Goedicke’s writing was the Rattlesnake Ladies’ Salon. This group,
which convened for a number of years over the eighties and nineties included Goedicke,
Deirdre McNamer, Kate Gadbow, Caroline Patterson, Connie Poten, Sandra Alcosser, Beth
Ferris, and Marnie Prange. According to Lois Welch, in her history of The University of
Montana Creative Writing program entitled All Our Stories are
Here, “The Rattlesnake Ladies’ Writing Salon (deliberately so named) met regularly
during the 1990s to give Missoula’s women writers a community of camaraderie and criticism
away from students and faculty, from stalwart husbands—and from fishing stories.”
During their years in Missoula, Goedicke and Robinson published several works. Robinson
published two books of poetry, In the Whale in 1983 and Now and Zen, which was published posthumously in 2005. Goedicke
published eight books of poetry: King of Childhood (1984),
The Wind of Our Going (1985), Listen
Love (1986), The Tongues We Speak (1989), Paul Bunyan’s Bearskin (1992), Invisible
Horses (1996), As Earth Begins to End (2001), and
Baseball Field at Night (published posthumously in 2009).
Goedicke’s selected volume of poems The Tongues We Speak was
named a notable book by The New York Times Book Review in 1990
and As Earth Begins to End was named by Booklist as one of the top 10 books of the year.
Leonard Wallace Robinson, who had been suffering from dementia, passed away in his sleep on
April 30, 1999. Patricia Goedicke passed away on July 14, 2006. In the days leading up to
her death, Goedicke was working on her final book while undergoing cancer treatment.
This collection contains the personal and professional papers of Patricia Goedicke and
Leonard Wallace Robinson. The majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence and
materials related to Goedicke’s and Robinson’s works. These materials include drafts,
notebooks, and business files documenting the publication of their many works. Other
materials include teaching files, personal records, previously published works collected
either for research or as personal mementos, Patricia Goedicke’s juvenilia, photographs,
audio and visual recordings, and computer files. The computer files mostly comprise of
Goedicke's poems and correspondence related to Goedicke's writing and work as a professor at
the University of Montana.
The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence and drafts of works by Goedicke and
Robinson. Series I (Works by Patricia Goedicke) and Series II (Works by Leonard Wallace
Robinson) document the development of poems, stories, and novels by Goedicke and Robinson,
including business files regarding publication. The correspondence includes both
professional and personal correspondence. In addition to correspondence with several
literary figures such as Rosellen Brown and Robert S. Phillips, the correspondence also
contains files also notable for their depth, such as the correspondence between Goedicke and
her sister, Jean-Marie Cook.
Notable amongst the remainder of the collection is the documentation of Goedicke’s career
at The University of Montana in Series IV (Teaching Files), the evidence of several major
medical operations impacting Robinson and Goedicke in Series VII (Personal Records), and the
works by Robert Lax collected by Robinson in Series IX (Published Materials).

The collection was acquired in 2007 from Deirdre McNamer and Connie Poten, the executors of
Patricia Goedicke's estate. Additional materials were submitted independently by Kate Gadbow
and Deirdre McNamer in 2008, including recordings of Goedicke's memorial service, a compact
disk containing documents from Goedicke's hard drive, and materials from Goedicke's safe
deposit box, which contained copies of Goedicke's and Robinson's will, personal effects, and
a letter from Robert Frost.
This collection has been organized into series intended to reflect the literary and
academic careers of Patricia Goedicke and Leonard Wallace Robinson. While certain parts of
the collection largely reflect original order (such as Series IV: Teaching Files), much of
the collection has been reorganized at individually arranged at the file level by the
processing archivist. More specific statements regarding the arrangement of the collection
may be found in the series level content notes.
Materials were appraised by the processing archivist according to their research value in
relation to the study of literature at a national or regional level, to the study of The
University of Montana, and to the lives of Patricia Goedicke and Leonard Wallace Robinson as
writers and academics. Materials of little value in these regards, such as routine financial
records and mass produced audio recordings, were generally not retained. More detailed
appraisal notes may be found in the series level content notes.
Patricia Goedicke's poetry library was donated to the Mansfield Library and placed in the
Poetry Corner. Personal copies of works by Robinson and Goedicke are housed in Mansfield
Library's Special Collections.
The following are issues of literary journals containing tributes to Patricia Goedicke
after her passing:

Series I
Works by Patricia Goedicke
1945-2006
26.1 linear feet
This series includes files of drafts, notes, correspondence, business records, and
notebooks related to Goedicke’s works. Within this series are five subseries: Individual
Works, Gathered Works, General Business Files, Readings Files, and Notebooks. In many
ways, the subseries titled Individual Works may be seen as an extension of the subseries
titled Notebooks and vice-versa. That is, the drafts first conceived in Goedicke’s
notebooks eventually emerge in type, thus beginning a cycle of revisions appearing in
the subseries of Individual Works.
While these works consist primarily of poems or books of poetry, the series also
contains drafts of Goedicke’s autobiographical essay “Entering the Garden.” Drafts of
other essays or articles by Goedicke may be found in Series V, Conference Files, as many
of Goedicke’s critical writings emerged from conference papers.
While the files in most of the subseries reflect the way the originally files created
by Goedicke, the files arranged under Individual Works reflect a significant degree of
intervention by the archivist. Notably, Goedicke tended to group drafts of poems in
large alphabetical files. The archivist separated these files into smaller units to more
explicitly identify individual titles. Furthermore, the archivist pulled together drafts
of poems contained in separate alphabetic files to avoid the need to search different
files for drafts of the same poem.
Subseries 1
Individual Works
1958-2006
12.1 linear feet
This subseries includes drafts of individual poems and files of correspondence,
notes, manuscripts, records, reviews, and publicity for book length works. Works are
arranged in alphabetical order according to title.
Because Goedicke dated most of her drafts, it is often possible to track the
development of a poem back to hand-written drafts in her journal using the date of the
first draft that appears in type print. In addition to dating her drafts, Goedicke
occasionally indicates readers who have provided significant feedback regarding a
work. For example, a draft dated “9/12/94 (after Salon)” indicates that the draft has
been revised based on comments from the Rattlesnake Ladies Salon, of which Goedicke
was a regular participant.
Drafts of individual poems may also be found amongst files of works compiled in the
subseries Gathered Works. In addition, a handful of drafts by Goedicke appear within
the Correspondence series. For example, some of the poems appearing in Invisible Horses appear amongst correspondence to and from
Cal Bedient.
Files for book length works contain documents related to the compilation,
publication, and promotion of books by Goedicke. This includes publisher
correspondence, correspondence written in response to individual books, notes on
arrangement and themes, and reviews.

Gathered Works

This subseries consists of files containing drafts of multiple poems. Some of these
files contain poems listed in Individual Works. Materials within these files were kept
together to retain the organizational scheme created by Goedicke. The files themselves
were then arranged by the archivist in chronological order according to the oldest
document in the file.

This subseries consists of notebooks containing both drafts of poems and personal
entries. In many of her journals, Goedicke indicates the location of drafts by date
and title inside the front cover the notebook. One of the more notable entries begins
on May 8, 1990 and continues through May 25. In later journals, Goedicke uses post-its
to mark the location of drafts. In addition, one can usually locate drafts in
notebooks by looking up the earliest date referenced by the typed drafts contained in
the Individual Works files. Notebooks are arranged in chronological order according to
date of the first entry.

Series II
Works by Leonard Wallace Robinson
1931-2006
16.1 linear feet
This series consists primarily of files of drafts and notes for works of fiction,
non-fiction, and poetry. Also included are notebooks containing general notes for
writing, business files documenting the publication of works by Robinson, and files used
for readings.
Also included in this series are indices of poems created by Goedicke and poems
selected and retyped by Goedicke. Many of the retyped poems reference folders with an
“SG” number. SG stands for Sarah Gridley, who helped Goedicke sort through Robinson’s
works after his passing. A letter by Goedicke to Robinson’s sister, Helen, explains this
process. A copy of this letter has been placed by the archivist at the beginning of the
file titled “Poems typed by Patricia Goedicke.” The SG numbers for individual folders
are listed as notes beneath the corresponding folder title.

are various versions of an autobiographical novel, eventually titled The Quack, and an unpublished collection of short stories
titled The Sin and Other Stories. Many of the stories
appearing in The Sin and Other Stories appeared
originally in The New Yorker, Harper’s, and other publications. A few files also exist for short stories
and reviews.

Subseries 2
Gathered Works
1931-1999
1.2 linear feet
This subseries consists primarily of drafts of individual poems as grouped by
Robinson. Notable exceptions are files of retyped poems and indices created by
Goedicke in 1999 and 2000. Goedicke’s indices point to poems located in other files
within Robinson’s Gathered Works, as well as materials in Robinson’s notebooks (see
Subseries 6, “Notebooks”). This series has been arranged according to titles assigned
by the archivist which generally reflect the type of work contained within the file
(e.g., poems, articles, limericks).

series, such as Teaching Files and the series dedicated to works by Goedicke and
Robinson. Much of the original correspondence files have been rearranged by the
archivist into files of correspondence to and from specific individuals. The individual
correspondence is arranged in alphabetical order. Originally the files were primarily
labeled according to the date the correspondence was gathered. The remaining
correspondence has been arranged in rough chronological order loosely based on the files
originally created by Robinson and Goedicke.
Individuals represented in this series were selected based on the amount of
correspondence contained within the series and the importance of the correspondent in a
literary context (whether regionally or nationally). While files for Jean-Marie Cook
(Goedicke’s sister), Pat Grean (Goedicke’s friend), and Larry and Joan Pinkham
(Robinson’s former colleague from Columbia) are notable for their documentation of
Goedicke’s and Robinson’s life over a long period of time, other files reflect intense
collaboration over a more limited time frame. Such files include those for Cal Bedient,
which documents the development of Invisible Horses and
Bedient’s Candy Necklace, Sarah Gridley, which documents
the development of Baseball Field at Night and Gridley’s
Weather Eye Open, and Melissa Kwasny, which documents the
development of Baseball Field at Night and Thistle.
Amongst the notable correspondence in the general correspondence subseries is the file
titled “MacDowell Colony correspondence (1968-1970).” This file contains correspondence
documenting Goedicke’s and Robinson’s first encounter.
Some correspondence has been separated from the alphabetical and general correspondence
files in order to protect the privacy of living individuals. Any file containing
restricted correspondence will contain a note beneath the file title in the container
list.
The email correspondence has been restricted.

Conference Files
1983-2005
0.9 linear feet
This series includes materials from conferences and workshops attended by Patricia
Goedicke including notes and papers presented by Goedicke. Notable amongst these files
are the extensive notes and drafts Goedicke retained for her attendance at the 1989
Modern Language Association annual meeting, where she presented in a session titled
“Schools of the Self in Contemporary American Poetry.”
At least one of Goedicke’s conference papers, “Keeping the Faith,” was revised into an
article by the same title for The Hiram Poetry Review,
issue 48-49 (1990-1991).
Some of Goedicke’s presentations are also recorded to audio or video tape. These
include her lectures at the Midnight Sun Writers’ Conference (1983), Muriel Rukeyser
Workshop (1991), and the Yellow Bay Writers’ Workshop (1993). The Midnight Sun and
Yellow Bay lectures and readings were recorded on audio tape, while Goedicke’s reading
for the Muriel Rukeyser Workshop was recorded on a video tape labeled “Salmon, ID
reading,” which was where the workshop took place.

Published Materials
1934-1988
1.1 linear feet
A number of chapbooks that were originally a part of the collection were separated and
placed in the Mansfield Library’s Poetry Corner, as were books from Goedicke’s personal
library. Chapbooks deemed too fragile for the Poetry Corner were retained in this
collection of Goedicke’s papers. A list of separated chapbooks may be found in the file
titled “Chapbooks.” A number of published materials that were not deemed appropriate for
the Poetry Corner were retained due to annotation by Goedicke or Robinson or their
significance to other materials in the collection. Annotated books include works about
Alzheimer’s disease and materials used for background research for Robinson’s
autobiographical novel. Unannotated works from Robinson’s research files were removed
from the collection. Other materials offer either unique biographical information about
Goedicke and Robinson or support correspondence files, in particular, the Robert Lax
correspondence and Bella Cooney correspondence.
Subseries 1
General Works
1934-1988
0.7 linear feet

Henry Miller, whose works Tropic of Cancer and Black Spring were banned in the United
States at time of the journal’s release.

Photographic Materials
circa
1910-2005
4.7 linear feet
This series has been arranged into four subseries: Photographs and Proofs, Negatives
and Slides, and Albums. The photo albums document a fairly extensive chronological
narrative of Goedicke’s and Robinson’s life from 1982-2001. There is also a large framed
work of art used in Robinson's memorial service. A relatively small number of digital
images were saved to Goedicke’s hard drive and copied to DVD with other files from the
hard drive. Since the DVD consists primarily of email and word processing documents, the
archivist has filed the DVD in Series XIV, Computer Files. The DVD is also described in
the notes for Series XIV.

Series XV
Computer Files
1988-2010
2,170 electronic files
90.5 megabytes of digital materials
This series consists primarily of computer disks that contain documents in Word
Perfect, Word Star, and Word, as well as files downloaded from Outlook. These disks were
most likely gathered by Goedicke and include 5.25 inch disks, 3.5 inch disks, zip disks,
as well as a flash drive and DVD containing the contents of Goedicke’s hard drive, both
submitted by Deirdre McNamer after the initial acquisition of the papers by Archives and
Special Collections. These materials contain drafts of Goedicke’s works, downloaded
email files, and photographs. Corrupt files that could not be transferred are listed
within text files titled “Archivist Note,” which are located within the directory
containing the files from the corresponding disk.
Original order of these computer files was not retained by the processing archivist
because of the need to separate out restricted materials and the need to combine all of
the files from the separate disks into one cohesive series. The current arrangement of
the files reflects the arrangement imposed on the paper materials. Exact duplicate files
were removed along with temporary files and executable files. The file names were
stripped of special characters but otherwise remain the same. The files were migrated
from their original format into PDFs.
Most of the drafts of individual poems contained in this series have likely been
printed out and may be found in Series I, Subseries 1 (Works by Patricia Goedicke,
Individual Works). Goedicke’s faculty files may include materials not included in Series
IV (Teaching Files), as applications for normal raises were discarded. While Goedicke
did print much of the correspondence received or written in a digital format, there is
no evidence that she printed out all of her correspondence. Due to potential privacy
issues surrounding correspondence and teaching records, many of the documents contained
within this series will be accessible only with the consent of the archivist.
Disks that do not contain documents authored by Goedicke or Robinson, such as support
software for a zip drive, were removed from the collection. Also removed was a disk
containing only Faculty evaluations of Goedicke's peers within the English Department at
The University of Montana.
The dates associated with the files are the dates the files were last modified.
Goedicke conscientiously backed up her computer files. So much so, that the original
creation dates of the oldest files have been lost unless explicitly documented in the
file itself by Goedicke.
