Angus Graham both translated Chinese poetry and wrote his own poems some of which were published, including his collection, The Coral beneath the Sun (Doldrum Press, 1969). Material in this series consists of drafts for both his own poems and translations, some musical compositions, correspondence about his own and others' poems and drafts for articles.

Thomas Manning was a keen amateur poet and had a lifelong interest in riddles. These are draft poems and riddles mainly created by Manning through his adult life. There are also instances of Manning adopting mirror writing.

These are pamphlets and offprints covering many different areas of his interest. Some are rare editions whilst others are typed reprints of material held elsewhere.
