Contents include: juvenilia, published primarily in the Leys Public School's journal, the Leys Fortnightly, poetry and short stories published in anthologies, and poetry and short stories published in magazines and journals, during Lowry's lifetime and posthumously. Posthumous publications were predominantly the result of submissions and requests made by Earle Birney and Margerie Lowry to various magazines and journals, though in many cases Lowry's work was sought out for publication in anthologies and collections of poetry and short stories, and for spotlight features about Lowry (see the Earle Birney Papers sous-fonds for correspondence about some posthumous publication of Lowry's writing).
