The book was compiled and edited by Clinton F. Larson and William E. Stafford, both poets and professors of English. The collection includes biographical writing, editorial materials, published reviews, published poetry with lists and waivers, rejected poetry, and miscellaneous material. The letters written between Larson and Stafford express various thoughts, opinions and criticisms regarding the poems submitted for their review as well as decision-making concerning which authors, and which of their poems, to ultimately include or exclude from the anthology. In the invitations extended by the editors to contributing authors, the following material was provided: a letter conveying their vision for the anthology and a request for samples of the author's work, a release form for permission to publish the selected works, and a cover sheet requesting biographical information of the author. The bulk of the collection is dated 1974 and consists of these returned release forms and cover sheets, in addition to copies of poems submitted for review by the authors. Both accepted poems and rejected poems from nearly all authors are included, as well as biographical profiles from contributing authors. Poets in the collection include, among others: Earle Birney, Marilyn McMeen Miller, R. A. Christmas, Marden J. Clark, Thomas H. Ferril, Brewster Ghiselin, Thom Gunn, Philip Levine, Sandra McPherson, Theodore Roethke, Ralph J. Salisbury, Karl Shapiro, Ann Stanford, A. Wilber Stevens, May Swenson, and Peter Wild.

The Citrus label collection contains more than 1,500 lithographed labels related to the California citrus industry in the United States from 1880 to 1960, with the bulk of the collection dating from 1890 to 1940. The vast majority of the collection consists of lithographed labels produced for Californian growers, packers, and distributors to identify brand names and packing locations on wooden shipping crates of oranges, lemons and grapefruits. Many of the labels were printed by Los Angeles and San Francisco lithographers. The collection includes a range of lithography techniques from crayon drawing and hand stippling to the use of Ben Day screen patterns and half-tone lithography. The collection also includes more than 100 examples with "bronzing," a printing technique where varnish is printed on the label, followed by a dusting of fine bronze powder. A significant number of labels are stamped on verso with a received date by the Fruit Growers Supply Company, and some include signatures of approval or notations about printing corrections. The collection provides a broad view of the development of citrus fruit advertising over time, and also touches upon topics of commerce, manufacturing, travel and tourism, and promotion of the western United States. In the earliest examples, themes include naturalistic designs of flowers, animals, women, historical subjects, and scenic landscapes. Brand names, simple designs, block letters, and geometric patterns dominate in later examples. Many of the labels depict orange groves, scenic views, or flowers, though the collection also includes a wide variety of imagery beyond these themes including Native Americans, transportation, children, and portraits of famous or fictional people.
