Series consists of 11 notebooks containing handwritten final drafts of poems. There are few corrections or annotations in these notebooks. This series also includes presentation copies of poems in volumes made of boards with silk padded covers and cardboard cases. One volume is untitled and within it, each poem is handwritten in ink facing Japanese prints. Two presentation copies of Fancy Free, 1938, are included in this series. The second version has a typed frontispiece: "Of this edition of Fancy Free by Carol Coates, two hundred and fifty copies only have been printed. This Chap-book is a product of the Ryerson Press, Toronto, Canada, 1939."
Accrual adds to the existing series four notebooks of handwritten final drafts of poems. Enumerated Book II through Book V, each volume is begun with a title page giving the dates of the poems and sometimes referring to other volumes containing typed or draft versions.
