The series contains writings all authored by Smith including topical articles, opinion articles, poetry, and materials related to published books. The majority of the materials are final versions of his writing often showing limited or no editorial marks or changes. Additional materials, including correspondence, clippings, publicity, and ephemera, for the published books were not separated from this series in order to preserve Smith's filing order. Writings are arranged alphabetically by title. Of interest are the materials related to DC in Revue, a musical written by Smith, and a draft of Multitudes: Memoirs of a Rebel.
