{"value"=>"<p>Material related to Reed's written works comprises Series V. This includes Books; Liner Notes; Lyrics; Magazine and Newspaper articles; Notebooks; Poetry; Sheet Music and Scores; Short Stories and Drafts; and Speeches.</p> <p>The Books files contain manuscripts from <span class=\"title\">Lou Reed Words & Music</span>, <span class=\"title\">Pass Through Fire</span>, and a preface he penned for the 2012 edition of Delmore Schwartz's <span class=\"title\">In Dreams Begin Responsibilities</span>.</p> <p>Lyrics from Reed's commercially released albums as both a solo artist and with the Velvet Underground are present in this series. All the lyrics are typed and most do not contain notes or annotations. Lyrics on Reed's computer were arranged by Reed's staff into folders by album title. There is a small selection of \"Other\" lyrics, which includes material he labeled as \"new,\" as well as lyrics from <span class=\"title\">Time Rocker</span>, <span class=\"title\">POEtry</span>, and lyrics compiled for <span class=\"title\">The Raven</span> tour. Reed did not retain early drafts of his work, or much handwritten material. Nearly all the lyrics present are in their final form, identical to how they were published in his books and sung in his songs. There is a small selection of typed and occasionally annotated lyrics found in Series I from the <span class=\"title\">Set the Twilight Reeling</span> recording sessions.</p> <p>Also included in this Series are typed manuscripts from pieces Reed authored for newspapers and magazines, a small selection of original poetry, a few drafts of short stores, and two speeches.</p>"}
