content: Writings include essays, notebooks, loose notes, and poems by Arthur Monroe on a range of subjects. While there are some autobiographical essays and travel writing, most of the writings are about Black and African art. There are many notebooks, but most of them are untitled and undated, and appear to contain fragments of essays and often not in a clearly discernable order. The bulk of the material in this series was written by Monroe, but there are some writings by others about Arthur Monroe and other subjects grouped together towards the end of the series.
