During his childhood, he helped his father and the farm workers employed by the family\nwith the daily operations of the ranch.","Levis earned a bachelor's degree in English in 1968, from Fresno State College, later renamed California\nState University, Fresno, where he formed what would become a lifelong friendship with Philip Levine.\nTwo years later, he earned a master's degree in Creative Writing from Syracuse University. Following his\ngraduation, Levis became a lecturer at the University of California Los Angeles, where he taught from\n1970 to 1972. In 1972, the University of Pittsburgh Press published his first book of poems, Wrecking\nCrew, which won the United States Award from the International Poetry Forum. That same year he\njoined the Iowa Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa where he taught and was a writing fellow\nfrom 1972 to 1974. From 1972 to 1973, Levis served as West Coast Editor of the literary magazine\nCrazyhorse, and in 1973, he received his first National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.","In 1974, Levis earned a doctorate in English from the University of Iowa and took a job as an assistant\nprofessor at the University of Missouri, Columbia, where he taught from 1974 to 1983. He was promoted to the rank of associate professor and was tenured in 1980, and he also served\nas co-editor and founding editor of the Missouri Review from 1978 to 1981. \nHis second book\nof poems, The Afterlife, was published in 1977 by the Windhover Press of the University of Iowa and the\nUniversity of Iowa Press and was awarded the Lamont Poetry Selection of the American Academy of\nPoets. \nLevis returned to the Iowa Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa as a visiting poet from 1980 to 1982, and again in 1991. His third book of poems, The Dollmaker's Ghost, which was the winner of the Open Competition of the National Poetry Series, was published by E.P. Dutton in 1981. In 1983, Levis was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and traveled through Mexico and several countries in Europe.","Levis took a position as an associate professor at the University of Utah in 1984. That same year, he\nreceived his second National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. The University\nof Pittsburg Press released his fourth book of poems, Winter Stars, in 1985. Levis was promoted to the position\nof full professor in 1988, and he served as director of Utah's Program of Creative Writing from 1988\nto 1992. Levis also served as associate editor of the Western Humanities Review from 1987 to 1992.\nIn 1988, he received a Senior Fulbright Fellowship and traveled to Yugoslavia, and he was\nawarded a third National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1989. In 1991, the University of Pittsburgh Press\npublished Levis's fifth book of poems, The Widening Spell of the Leaves.","Levis moved to Richmond, Virginia, in 1992, having taken a job as a professor and senior poet at\nVirginia Commonwealth University. That same year, Peregrine Smith published Black Freckles, a book of\nLevis's short prose pieces. In 1993, Levis became director of the master's of fine arts program in Creative\nWriting at Virginia Commonwealth University. At this time, Levis was also a faculty member of the Warren Wilson College's master's of fine arts Creative Writing Program. He continued teaching and mentoring students in the low-residency program into 1996.\nOn May 9, 1996, Levis was found dead from cardiac arrest at the age of 49 in his home in the Church\nHill neighborhood of Richmond.","Over the course of his career, Levis's poems were published in a number of magazines and journals\nincluding American Poetry Review, The New Yorker, Field, Southern Review, and Antioch Review,\namong others. In addition to the publications noted above, Levis also had several other limited edition\nchapbooks published including The Rain's Witness in 1975, The Leopard's Mouth Is Dry and Cold Inside\nwith Marcia Southwick in 1976, and Sensationalism in 1983, as well as a limited edition broadside, The Two\nTrees, in 1994.","Levis has one child, Nicholas Levis, born in 1978, the son of Marcia Southwick, to whom Levis was\nmarried from 1975 to the early 1980s. He had also been married to Barbara Campbell from 1969 to 1973\nand Mary Jane Hale from 1989 to 1990.","Extant documentation of the state in which Levis's materials were initially found following his death\nindicates that Levis likely maintain only a very rudimentary organizational system. John Venable,\nthe graduate student tasked with the organization of Levis's office papers by Levis's sister, Sheila\nBrady, noted in a letter to Brady that \"Larry's method of filing drafts and revisions of poems is,\nsimply, unlike anything I've ever seen: drafts are not dated, some drafts switch from handwriting to\ntypescript and back again, further drafts are found in other, unmarked folders.\" Venable stated that\nhe consolidated groupings of Levis's academic files and his literary materials, the latter of which\nhe subdivided into three subgroups: drafts of poems and prose both from published collections and\nunpublished works, personal and professional correspondence, and \"indecipherable\" handwritten\npages. Following this organizational effort, it is likely that the salvaged materials were transferred to\nthe custody of the New Virginia Review.","Following their transfer, the exact date of which is unknown, the materials were stored, handled,\nadded to, and mailed among multiple parties, including several of Levis's friends, colleagues, and\nfamily members, who actively used the materials as they compiled, edited, and published several\nposthumous collections of Levis's work: Elegy (1997), The Selected Levis (2000), The Gazer Within\n(2001), and The Darkening Trapeze (2016), as well as Condition of the Spirit (2004), a compilation of\nLevis's essays and writings about Levis by others.","Details of this collaborative process are described by David St. John in his afterword to The\nDarkening Trapeze. He notes that content was pulled from Levis's computers and his home office\nin addition to his university office, and that the endeavor to collect and organize Levis's drafts was\nled by Mary Flinn, Gregory Donovan, and Amy Tudor, the three of whom also collaboratively\ndetermined which were the most recent drafts of given poems among those found. Editing of the\nresulting posthumous volumes was variously completed by Philip Levine, David St. John, James\nMarshall, Andrew Miller, John Venable, Mary Flinn, and Christopher Buckley. All posthumous\npublications were created either at the request or with the permission of Levis estate administrator\nSheila Brady.","Materials pertaining to the compilation of these works seems to have been added to the collection\nduring this time. It is clear, judging from David St. John's account as well as notations on folders,\nenvelopes, and sticky notes found during the reappraisal process, that the collection's intermediary\ncustodians sorted the materials in order to facilitate their use, though it is unknown how many\nseparate attempts at arrangement were made before the 2016 reappraisal and reprocessing.","Born digital materials are housed on 3.5 and 4.25 inch floppy disks.","When the collection was originally processed by VCU Special Collections and Archives in 2013, staff\nfound virtually no evidence of original order, and so an order was imposed at that time. Writings by\nLevis were organized chronologically and correspondence was arranged alphabetically. Materials\ndocumenting Levis's academic career were organized by institution, and his personal effects and\nposthumous materials were arranged by material type.","During the 2013 processing of the collection, materials acquired through a separate donation by Sheila\nBrady in 2011 were interfiled into the materials purchased in 2009. As provenance information was\nretained by that processor at the folder level, it was possible during the 2016 reprocessing effort\nto separate and arrange the materials donated by Brady into a single series, Series 7: Sheila Brady\nmaterials.","Materials which seems to have a provenance distinct from the 2009 purchase from Nicholas Levis and the 2011 donation of Sheila Brady have been grouped into Series 8: Collected materials during the 2016 reprocessing. This series will also encompass any future accruals to the collection, should they occur.","During the 2016 reappraisal and reprocessing, where order was discernable, whether it may be the result\nof Levis's design or that of the collection's custodians following his death, all efforts have been made to\npreserve it. This was done because any such order may hold clues to the creator's intent,\nwhether that order had been established by Levis himself or by those who knew him well and therefore may\nhave possessed unique insights into his creative process. Where order was found to be lacking, an\narrangement was imposed on the collection in order to facilitate intellectual control and access.\nThis imposition of order consisted of grouping materials either by record type or provenance, where\npossible.","Evidence of arrangement attempts made by Levis's colleagues and family after his death has been\nretained as much as possible through preservation photocopying of notes and the inclusion of relevant\ndescriptive information added by those other than Levis in folder titles placed within brackets. These retained notes include location information, description of content, and,\nfor some collected works, numerical or potentially sequential identification of drafts.","The Larry Levis papers consist of materials created and accumulated by Levis, his colleagues, and members of his family. Materials date from 1974 to 2006 and document Levis's literary career and legacy, his career in academia, and aspects of his personal life.","The great majority of Series 1: Correspondence is made up of letters, cards, notes, and postcards received by Levis as well as a lesser number of letters written by Levis. Correspondents include friends, colleagues, family members, and editors. These letters provide insight into Levis's personal and professional relationships. The folder of unidentified correspondence holds materials lacking an identifiable correspondent as these letters, cards, and postcards are marked with only a first name, illegible signatures, or no name at all. Miscellaneous envelopes are those that do not correspond with a letter or card in the series. Also found in this series are sets of correspondence in which Levis was neither the sender nor the recipient. These include the correspondence of James Marshall, Mary Flinn, and a set of other correspondence that includes single instances of exchanges between unique pairs of individuals. Most folders in this series hold only a few pieces of correspondence, with the exception of correspondence with Philip Levine which is substantial, but consists largely of photocopies.","Series 2: Writings, the largest series in this collection, is broken into three subseries: Subseries 2.1: Collected works, Subseries 2.2: Other works, and Subseries 2.3: Writings of others. These materials illuminate aspects of Levis's creative process, his professional and artistic relationships with peers, and the evolution of his literary career and legacy.","Subseries 2.1: Collected works makes up the bulk of this series and consists of drafts of Levis's writing, including drafts of individual poetry and prose pieces, manuscript drafts of collected works, journals, and unarranged or unidentified poem and prose drafts, many of which are handwritten. Some drafts include comments of Levis's colleagues, including Philip Levine. Content related to Levis's early works and limited edition publications is largely absent. Best represented are the works The Dollmaker's Ghost, Winter Stars, The Widening Spell of the Leaves, Black Freckles, Elegy, and The Gazer Within.","Evidence of posthumous arrangement activities is most prominent in this subseries, and all efforts have been made to preserve it as it may hold clues to the creator's intent. Preservation photocopies of sticky notes and notes written on envelopes are included in their corresponding folders. Descriptive information added by those other than Levis has been included in folder titles placed within brackets. The retained notations give location information, description of content, and, for some collected works, numerical or potentially sequential identification of drafts.","Drafts of poems and prose not identified and grouped with a specific collected volume have been placed in Subseries 2.2: Other works. Though the majority of these folders lacked distinct titles indicating why certain materials were placed in a folder together at the time of processing, there may be unknown meaning to their arrangement. Therefore, these items have been kept in their original folder groupings. Drafts marked at \"unidentified\" could not be identified in terms of genre.","Materials in Subseries 2.3: Writings of others include drafts or otherwise unpublished versions of poetry and prose pieces by other individuals. Some pieces are about Levis, while others were, presumably, acquired by Levis or his associates at some point.","In this series, many copies of poem drafts, including a number of the drafts for the collected work Elegy as well as unidentified drafts are photocopies. Dates given on folders holding these materials reflect the dates of the original content, when provided.","Series 3: Printed materials contains published poems, articles, and interviews by Levis and others as well as advertisements, flyers, and other printed ephemera. Items in this series provide examples of Levis's public presence, analysis and interpretation of his work in the press, and works by others that Levis or his associates acquired and retained. Published works by Levis are identified first by genre, then by title, whereas works by others are identified by the name of the author, then by title. Materials grouped by type include advertisements mentioning Levis, articles and press releases about Levis, articles about Philip Levine, postcards, and reviews.","Materials in Series 4: Academic files include academic administrative materials, course materials, student correspondence, and student work that document aspects of Levis's life in academia, his roles as a professor, and his approach to teaching. The bulk of materials in this series pertain to Levis's work with Virginia Commonwealth University and Warren Wilson College. Academic materials that do not indicate an institution have been labeled as unidentified. Administrative materials include department correspondence and policy documents, employment forms, and similar materials. Course materials encompass syllabi, photocopied readings, and other materials related to the preparation and delivery of instruction. Correspondence with students, attendance and grade sheets, and submitted student work may be protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Access to these materials must be requested in advance to allow for review by the archivist.","Series 5: Business and personal files holds appointment books, personal effects, photographs, audiovisual materials, awards, and other materials of a personal or professional nature that are not primarily made up of correspondence or writings. These items provide insight into Levis's personal life and also document his memorial services. Personal materials, such as photographs, lacking contextual information have been labeled as unidentified.","The disks in Series 6: Born-digital materials hold content created by Levis or his associates on a variety of topics. It is likely that some portion of the born-digital materials currently housed on these 3.5 and 4.25 inch floppy disks is duplicated in the paper records, although the extent of this duplication is unknown at this time. Access to these materials must be requested in advance to allow for generation of access copies.","Series 7: Sheila Brady papers consists of materials donated by Brady, Levis's sister, in 2011. During the 2013 processing of the collection, these materials were interfiled into the materials previously purchased from Nicholas Levis. Notation made by the processor at the time enabled the separation of these files during the 2016 reprocessing effort into their own series. In terms of subject and content, materials in this series run the gamut of the collection as a whole. Materials include academic files from Virginia Commonwealth University and Warren Wilson College; correspondence with colleagues of Levis, publishers, academic institutions, family, and friends; personal effects; obituaries; various printed materials and reviews; drafts and manuscripts of Levis collected works; and writings by others. Access to materials that may be protected by FERPA must be requested in advance to allow for review by the archivist.","Series 8: Collected materials holds items which have a provenance distinct from the 2009 purchase from Nicholas Levis and the 2011 donation of Sheila Brady. Currently, this includes a set of posters. This series will also encompass any future accruals to the collection.","There are no restrictions.","VCU James Branch Cabell Library","Levis, Larry, 1946-1996","English\n."],"collection_title_tesim":["Larry Levis papers, 1974/2006"],"collection_ssim":["Larry Levis papers, 1974/2006"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["M 426","/repositories/5/resources/224"],"unitid_tesim":["M 426","/repositories/5/resources/224"],"repository_ssm":["Virginia Commonwealth University, Cabell Library"],"repository_ssim":["Virginia Commonwealth University, Cabell Library"],"creator_persname_ssim":["Levis, Larry, 1946-1996"],"creator_corpname_ssim":["VCU James Branch Cabell Library"],"creators_ssim":["Levis, Larry, 1946-1996","VCU James Branch Cabell Library"],"access_terms_ssm":["There are no restrictions."],"acqinfo_ssim":["The bulk of the collection was purchased from Nicholas Levis in 2009.

Dr. Alan Patrick Llewelyn Prest, Jr. was born in Detroit, Michigan and grew up in Massachusetts.  He earned a degree in business from Lehigh University in 1951 before receiving his Masters of Divinity from the Episcopal Theological Seminary in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1954. Following his residency in clinical pastoral education at St. Luke's Hospital in Houston, Texas, Prest served a chaplain at Bellevue Hospital in New York City.","After a short tenure at Bellevue, Prest came to the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) where he succeeded the Rev. Dr. George D. Ossman who had served as the first chaplain and as a clinical pastoral educator beginning in 1943. The MCV administration tasked Prest with securing accreditation for the clinical pastoral education program which had been initiated in 1958. Under Prest's leadership the program received accreditation from the Council for Clinical Training (now the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education) one year later. During the pastoral education program's formative years, Prest served as administrator and hospital chaplain. He also established a cooperative program with the School of Theology at Virginia Union University (VUU) for which he was an adjunct instructor teaching courses in pastoral counseling and clinical orientation.","The educational program with Prest at the helm remained administratively part of the MCV Hospital until the creation of Virginia Commonwealth University in 1968. The VCU Board of Visitors established a new school for the allied health programs at the former MCV and the program in pastoral counseling was a logical choice for this new administrative home. This move split the education program from the pastoral care service component and the latter remained based in the hospital as the department of pastoral care. Prest remained responsible for both units and coordinated both units as they trained counselors and provided pastoral care in the hospital. The Board of Visitors promoted Prest to full professor and acknowledged his administrative role by naming him chair of the Program in Patient Counseling. He continued in this role until his retirement in 1993.","In addition to his work at VCU, Prest devoted time to professional activities. In 1967 he organized the Virginia Institute for Pastoral Care, one of the oldest pastoral counseling centers in the United States. The Institute supported both the MCV and University of Virginia chaplaincy programs as they struggled to secure adequate funding to sustain their respective programs. Prest also helped to organize the Virginia Association for Allied Health Professionals and served as its first president. He was also active with the Virginia Board of Professional Counselors for a period of eleven years, including two terms as chair.","Following Prest's retirement, the program in patient counseling continued to develop and it finally received departmental status within the School of Allied Health Professions in 2010. The Master of Science degree program was established in 2000 and a dual-degree arrangement with the School of Theology at VUU began. In 2007 the department enrolled its first students in pastoral counseling track of the School of Allied Health Professions' doctoral program in health related sciences. The department also initiated a distance learning program at New College in Abingdon and Memorial Hospital in Martinsburg, Virginia. Thanks to the generosity of the Lantz family the department established two endowed positions, the Rev. Robert B. Lantz Chair of the Department of Patient Counseling and the Katherine I. Lantz Professor of Patient Counseling.","Sources:\n\"A Brief History of CPE at MCV\" (see box:folder 3:12)\nVCU School of Allied Health Professions, Patient Counseling, History of Personnel (http://sahp.vcu.edu/departments/ptc/about-us/history-of-personnel/)\n \nVCU School of Allied Health Professions, Patient Counseling, Program History (http://sahp.vcu.edu/departments/ptc/about-us/program-history/)","The Department of Patient Counseling had someone organize the papers prior to the donation. Special Collections and Archives staff changed a few of the folder titles to more accurately reflect the contents of those folders, but the majority were retained as written. Additional information, such as dates, were added to existing folder titles when necessary. The files were rearranged from how the collection was originally received in order to facilitate better access and description of the collection.","The Prest papers are comprised mostly of materials pertaining to his work as a hospital chaplain and educator. There are some materials contained in the collection from the Department of Patient Counseling that date after Prest's retirement in 1993. These papers offer insight into how the Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program was formed and administered as well as trends in the professionalization of clinical pastoral care. The collection is divided into six series. Materials of particular interest are detailed in the series descriptions.","Series 1 MCV/VCU, 1954-2014. This series includes papers, publications, reports, accreditation materials, correspondence, and memoranda related to the pastoral care program at the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) and later Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).","The accreditation materials for the Council for Clinical Training and the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education provide information on the early days of the program and includes examples of program activities, self-studies, and site reports required for the accreditation process. Since these materials span from 1957 to 2010 it also illustrates how the accreditation process has evolved.","Various reports in this series offer insight into how the program functioned as well as how it expanded and changed over time. The annual reports of the Chaplains' Department supply a summary of activities and statistics from the first decade of the program. A 1964 Old Dominion Foundation grant application demonstrates how the program was growinig and in need of funds to support its expanding mission and the 1975 mission and goals report and the 1987 Virginia Cluster report highlight trends and changes in pastoral education.","Additional materials of interest are a group of letters between 1968 and 1970 discussing whether the CPE program violated Article IV Section 67 of the Virginia Constitution regarding the separation of church and state. Also of interest are the chapel bulletins from the 1950s-1970s used for the four services held on Sundays at the hospital. In addition to detailing the order of service, the bulletins contain announcements about patient counseling services and a devotional or meditation usually written by one of the counselor-chaplains.","Other materials in the series include the hospital chaplain's log books summerizing interactions with patients and their families, hosptial chapel information, proposals for a master's degree in patient counseling, articles, clippings, and newsletters featuring the department and staff, photographs, and a scrapbook.","Series 2: Council for Clinical Training (CCT), 1953-1977. The series consists of materials such as correspondences, newsletters, reports, and conference programs and papers. The documents in this series provide some insight into the organization responsible for accrediting the CPE program and personnel at MCV when it was established. There is one folder of materials for the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE) which is the current accrediting body. CCT merged with three other organizations in 1967 to form ACPE. Of interest in this series are the evaluations of Prest during his tenure at St. Luke's which were submitted to CCT for his accreditation with the organization.","Series 3: Writings, 1967-1986. This series is comprised of articles and manuscripts drafts written by Prest and others as well as presentation notes and text. Subjects explored include suicide, death and dying, and grief.","Series 4: Subject Files, 1941, 1955-1984. The series contains articles and materials concerning topics of interest to Prest.","Series 5: Educational Papers, 1952-1954. In this series are papers from his time as a student at Episcopal Theological Seminary and includes class assignments, lecture notes, and exams.","Series 6: Virginia Union University, 1968-1989. This series contains materials relating to his work as an adjunct professor including syllabi, course assignments, and some faculty materials such as meetings and minutes.","Summaries of Prest's group sessions with students where they discussed interactions with patients and case studies. These include Prest's evaluation of students during the session.","Includes the schedule and lectures from \"A Series of Eight Lectures of Concern to Theologican and Physicians\" sponsored by the Chaplain's Department and a copy of the orientation program schedule for CPE students.","Includes information on symbols of different religions, 1967 design floor plans, letter about possible renovation, 1992.","Includes agendas, minutes, and notes, for some of the meetings of the committees.","A Ride Down Memory Lane, Highways to Healing, created as part of the celebration of 55 years of clinical pastoral education and 70 years of pastoral care at VCU. Includes photographs and bios of staff as well as copies of articles and documents related to the VCU Department of Patient Counseling and the Department of Pastoral Care at VCU Medical Center.","The documents pertain to Prest's work as an assistant supervisor at St. Luke's Hospital in Houston, Texas. The materials include self-evaluations by Prest and reports from his training supervisor, Armen D. Jorjorian.","Includes the conference schedule, papers from presenters, workshop information, committee reports, and membership list.","Includes form letters, newsletters, committee reports, budget information, and similar materials related to the organization.","Includes miscellaneous pamphlets, correspondence, and articles related to CCT or pastoral education in general.","Includes conference programs, papers, committee reports, and notes from the 1957 and 1958 national conferences; minutes of the Regional Conference for Institutional Chaplains in 1958 as well as some related correspondence; and correspondence about the southeastern region of the NCCPE meeting in Richmond, Virginia in 1960 and includes the handout titled \"Discussion Questions in Clinical Pastoral Education.","There are no restrictions.","VCU Health Sciences Library","Virginia Commonwealth University.

There are some materials contained in the collection from the Department of Patient Counseling that date after Prest's retirement in 1993. These papers offer insight into how the Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program was formed and administered as well as trends in the professionalization of clinical pastoral care. The collection is divided into six series. Materials of particular interest are detailed in the series descriptions.","Series 1 MCV/VCU, 1954-2014. This series includes papers, publications, reports, accreditation materials, correspondence, and memoranda related to the pastoral care program at the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) and later Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).","The accreditation materials for the Council for Clinical Training and the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education provide information on the early days of the program and includes examples of program activities, self-studies, and site reports required for the accreditation process. Since these materials span from 1957 to 2010 it also illustrates how the accreditation process has evolved.","Various reports in this series offer insight into how the program functioned as well as how it expanded and changed over time. The annual reports of the Chaplains' Department supply a summary of activities and statistics from the first decade of the program. A 1964 Old Dominion Foundation grant application demonstrates how the program was growinig and in need of funds to support its expanding mission and the 1975 mission and goals report and the 1987 Virginia Cluster report highlight trends and changes in pastoral education.","Additional materials of interest are a group of letters between 1968 and 1970 discussing whether the CPE program violated Article IV Section 67 of the Virginia Constitution regarding the separation of church and state. Also of interest are the chapel bulletins from the 1950s-1970s used for the four services held on Sundays at the hospital. In addition to detailing the order of service, the bulletins contain announcements about patient counseling services and a devotional or meditation usually written by one of the counselor-chaplains.","Other materials in the series include the hospital chaplain's log books summerizing interactions with patients and their families, hosptial chapel information, proposals for a master's degree in patient counseling, articles, clippings, and newsletters featuring the department and staff, photographs, and a scrapbook.","Series 2: Council for Clinical Training (CCT), 1953-1977. The series consists of materials such as correspondences, newsletters, reports, and conference programs and papers. The documents in this series provide some insight into the organization responsible for accrediting the CPE program and personnel at MCV when it was established. There is one folder of materials for the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE) which is the current accrediting body. CCT merged with three other organizations in 1967 to form ACPE. Of interest in this series are the evaluations of Prest during his tenure at St. Luke's which were submitted to CCT for his accreditation with the organization.","Series 3: Writings, 1967-1986. This series is comprised of articles and manuscripts drafts written by Prest and others as well as presentation notes and text. Subjects explored include suicide, death and dying, and grief.","Series 4: Subject Files, 1941, 1955-1984.

He has won several awards, including Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards for his work on The Book of Ballads and Sagas, Neil Gaiman's Sandman, and Jeff Smith's Rose. In 1999, he was awarded the World Fantasy Award as Best Artist for his 175 paintings for Gaiman's novel Stardust. Vess was born in Lynchburg, VA, and began drawing as a child. He went on to earn a BFA in Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1974, and his first professional position was as a commercial animator for Candy Apple Productions in Richmond, VA. He later moved to New York City, did freelance for Heavy Metal Magazine, Klutz Press, and National Lampoon, and published The Horns of Elfland. In the 1980s, his career in fantasy comic art emerged with the publishing of Marvel Comics' The Raven Banner: A Tale of Asgard, \"The Warriors Three Saga\" in Marvel Fanfare, and Dark Horse Comics' Book of Night. In the 1990s, his notable mainstream work included the one-shot Spider-Man: Spirits of Earth and a 10-issue run as the cover artist for DC's The Swamp Thing. He also illustrated the official comic book adaptation of Steven Spielberg's Hook. During the early 1990s, Vess began self-publishing through his own Green Man Press studio. As an illustrator, Vess is well-known for his collaborations and other commissioned work, most notably with Neil Gaiman (Books of Magic, Sandman, Stardust, and Blueberry Girl), Terry Windling and Ellen Datlow (The Green Man, The Faery Reel, and The Coyote Road), Charles de Lint (Seven Wild Sisters, A Circle of Cats, Moonheart, and Medicine Road), and George R.R.
