Black Journals, 2 volumes, 1974, undated
Scope and Contents
Most of the handwriting in the volume is not Petra Vogt’s, except for four pages of drawings and an autograph poem with “July 1974” dated at the top of the page. The diary is in black plastic wrappers, with 81 leaves of poetry in purple, black and green ink, generally fair copies of work. Two poems are dedicated to Petra Vogt, “To the Friend” and “Homecoming.” One poem “Eros” is possibly by Petra Vogt but is in the handwriting of another author. The author of most of the poetry may be named “Arione” (numbered 18 in the dealer description of notebooks).
The diary in black paper wrappers includes ten pages of translation practice and three pages of drawings (likely not by Petra Vogt). Formerly laid in are two items, a typed or printed sheet on handling grave sorrow and a mimeographed dramatic script of Elektra in German, in five leaves, with holograph annotations which are currently placed in the back of the folder (numbered 19 in dealer description of notebooks).
