Scope and Content Note The Philip Whalen Papers, circa 1923-2002, consist of the writings (notebooks, poems, prose works), correspondence, professional papers, artwork and personal papers that detail Whalen’s dual life as poet (coming to prominence during San Francisco’s Beat era of the 1950s and often associated with his fellow Reed graduates, Gary Snyder and Lew Welch), and later, Buddhist monk. The bulk of the collection dates from the late 1970s to 2001, but also includes Whalen's early poetry works when he attended Reed College in the late 1940s. These papers complement The Bancroft Library's other extensive holdings documenting the San Francisco Poetry Renaissance. Of special interest in the collection are Whalen’s notebooks from 1957-1989. The early notebooks record his daily experiences and observations regarding a variety of topics, e.g. his backpacking trips to the Sierras, various locations he lived in the Bay Area, ruminations about writing and his interactions with other poets and writers associated with the Beat scene, and trips abroad, notably his two extensive stays in Japan. As time progresses the notebooks deal increasingly with Whalen’s entrance into and studies in Zen Buddhism and his long association with the and its second abbot, Zentatsu Richard Baker-roshi, founder of Tassajara Zen Mountain Center and Green Gulch Farm. An extensive array of correspondence, both professional and family, includes letters from professional colleagues in both the worlds of poetry and Buddhism. Much of the correspondence with fellow poets includes manuscripts sent to Whalen as gifts or for his professional review. His professional papers range from documents relating to the rights, permissions and royalty statements of published works to interviews, reviews and articles about Whalen as poet and Buddhist. Of interest

Finding Aid to the Philip Whalen BANC MSS 2000/93 p 5 Papers, circa 1923-2002 (bulk 1960-1997) are the numerous poetry reading announcements that show Whalen’s extensive interaction with his literary colleagues. Also included are notes and papers that Whalen compiled regarding literary and historical sources he used for his writings and on the subject of Zen Buddhism which he used for various courses he taught on the subject. Whalen dabbled in art and many of his drawings were used as illustrations in his books of poems. The artworks included in his papers reflect various themes and are often humorous or whimsical in tone. His personal papers, though brief, include such items as his astrological charts, his USDA Forest Service employment papers, a family tree and numerous datebooks that span the time period of the 1980’s - 1990’s. Also included is a folder on Issan Dorsey, founding Abbot of the Hartford Street Zen Center, San Francisco. The collection rounds out with materials Whalen gathered on Buddhism, from classic to contemporary essays. There are also several folders and oversize folders of maps, brochures, and programs relating to Whalen’s visits to Japanese temples and shrines in Kyoto and his attending Noh and Kabuki plays as well as reproductions. At the beginning of the series are a smattering of folders related to the Zen Center and Hartford Street Zen Center, both in San Francisco. As noted by Paul Christensen in the Dictionary of Literary Biography, “Philip Whalen has managed to espouse the religious principles of Zen Buddhism without renouncing the world around him, retaining a humorous, whimsical balance in his poems, and mixing the pleasures of California life with contemplation in such a way as to persuade readers that the flesh and spirit may be enjoyed together in the fulfillment of one’s life.”
