Arranged alphabetically, by subject. Consists of drafts of Cohen's published and unpublished poetry, family notes and records, and material documenting aspects of Cohen's career before he entered the U.S. Congress in 1973. This latter category includes Cohen's yearbooks from Bowdoin College where he earned an A.B. cum laude in Latin in 1962, and material related to the JFK Institute of Politics where Cohen was a fellow in 1972. From 1965 to 1966, Cohen was assistant editor-in-chief for the Journal of the American Trial Lawyers Association, and correspondence with his colleagues in that organization is included here. Cohen was named one of the ten outstanding young men of 1975 by the U.S. Jaycees, and material related to that honor is also found in this series.
