{"value"=>"<p>Notes and writings include ideas for and drafts of poems, song lyrics, diary entries, novels, short stories, and articles, published and unpublished. The notes also contain Carroll's reminders to himself, to-do lists, and contact information for friends and colleagues. The majority of Carroll's notes, poems, and lyrics are held in his notebooks. Notes and draft writings are also on computer files (after 2000), audio recordings, scraps of paper, and clippings. The notes often include cross-references to notes in other files or notebooks. Carroll also wrote notes and poems in books that he owned; these books are described in Series III: The Jim Carroll Library.</p> <p>Notes from the 1980s contain ideas and drafts that were incorporated into <span class=\"title\">Forced Entries</span> and <span class=\"title\">The Book of Nods</span>. Notes from the 1990s and 2000s include work that was published in <span class=\"title\">Fear of Dreaming</span> and <span class=\"title\">Void of Course</span>, among them \"8 Fragments for Kurt Cobain.\" Song lyrics are often identified as such by Carroll, distinguishing them from his poems. Throughout the notes are ideas for \"diary\" entries, including entries labeled \"Rock Diary,\" \"Roadie Diary,\" and \"NYC Diary.\" The collection contains drafts of Carroll's posthumously published novel, <span class=\"title\">The Petting Zoo</span> (also titled <span class=\"title\">Raven</span> and <span class=\"title\">Triptych</span>). <span class=\"title\">Petting Zoo</span> materials date from the 1980s to the 2000s, and include complete manuscripts with revisions and editorial comments by others. There are also notes for Carroll's uncompleted novel, <span class=\"title\">Stig/Mur</span>.</p>"}
