Biography Kenward Gray Elmslie was born in New York City on April 27, 1929, to William Gray Elmslie, a British businessperson, and Constance Pulitzer, daughter of newspaper magnate Joseph Pulitzer. His early childhood was spent in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and he attended preparatory schools in Virginia, Ohio and Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard in 1950 with a B.A. in literature and began his writing career as a lyricist and librettist, writing witty and melodic songs in collaboration with several composers. His published work for the musical theatre includes The Sweet Bye and Bye (1966) and Lizzie Borden (1966), music by Jack Beeson; Miss Julie (1965), music by Ned Rorem, and three works with composer Thomas Pasatieri, The Seagull (1974), Washington Square (1976), and Three Sisters (1986). Elmslie also wrote both the book and lyrics for a musical, The Grass Harp (1972) based on Truman Capote's 1951 novel. In 1993, Elmslie wrote and subsequently performed Postcards on Parade his one-man conceptual musical play incorporating Elmslie's collage works with performance art and his love of postcards. In 1954 Elmslie began to publish stories, short plays and verse in little magazines and gather them into collections including: Pavilions (1961), Power Plant Poems (1967), The Champ, Album (1969), Circus Nerves (1971), Motor Disturbance (1971), Orchid Stories (1973), Tropicalism (1975), Topiary Trek (1977), Moving Right Along (1980), Sung Sex (1990), Champ Dust (1994), Bare Bones (1995), and Routine Disruptions: Selected Poems & Lyrics (1998).
Kenward Elmslie Papers MSS 0521 2 Alice Notley in her review of Routine Disruptions for Jacket Magazine wrote, "Elmslie has never done what he was supposed to, and after the nearly forty years this book represents, his poetry can be seen to be unique. You do keep reading the poems, not because they're part of an ongoing discussion as to What Poetry Should Be Right Now, but because they continue to be unpredictable and unlike (other poetry) and lifelike (weird, patterned, tender.)" In addition to his theatrical partnerships, Elmslie also collaborated with several artists over the course of his career including projects with his partner, Joe Brainard such as The Baby Book (1965), The 1967 Gamebook Calendar (1967), The Champ (1968), Shiny Ride (1972), 1984 Comics (1983), Sung Sex (1989), and Pay Dirt (1992); with Donna Dennis on 26 Bars; with Ken Tisa on Bimbo Dirt (1982) and Palais Bimbo Snapshots (1982), with Trevor Winkfield on Cyberspace (2000), among others. In 1973 Elmslie became the editor of Z Press which annually published the eponymous Z Magazine - included titles Z (1973), ZZ (1974), ZZZ (1974), ZZZZ (1974), ZZZZZ (1976), and ZZZZZZ (1977). Z Press also published literary works by Elmslie as well as John Ashbery, Bill Berkson, Jean Boulte, Joe Brainard, Ian Finlay, Steve Gianakos, Joanne Kyger, Harry Matthews, Ron Padgett, James Schuyler, Anne Waldman and Marjorie Walsh, among others. Elmslie became a member American Guild of Authors and Composers, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and the Dramatists' Guild. His Power Plant Sestina (1967) received an award from the National Endowment for the Arts and Motor Disturbance (1971) received the Frank O'Hara Award. John Ashbery commenting about Elmslie's life said, "Kenward Elmslie has led an extraordinarily diverse and rich writing career. Master showman, poet, novelist, librettist and 'performance artist,' Elmslie is one of the unforgettable writers of our time."

PERFORMANCE/THEATRE WORKS Scope and Content of Series SERIES 2) PERFORMANCE/THEATRE WORKS: Arranged chronologically in three subseries: A) Published Works, B) Unpublished Works and C) Announcements and Flyers. A) Published Works: Arranged by year of publication, given in parentheses, then alphabetically by title within a single year. The material for each title is arranged in order of production. Related correspondence, if any, is first, followed by folders that may contain notes and outlines, work-in-progress files, drafts, and proofs. Collateral material, such as music scores, photographs or illustrations, is next, followed by advertisements, programs and reviews. In those instances where a sound or film recording was made of a work, material related to these formats concludes the section. B) Unpublished Works: Arranged alphabetically by title or first line and contains handwritten, typescript, paste-up, and photocopied texts. C) Announcement and Flyers: Arranged chronologically and contains a variety of promotional formats-- newspaper and magazine advertisements, mailings and posters-- for performances and readings of works by Elmslie.
