The journals have been arranged chronologically, and several are undated.

His entry in the notebook dated 10/6/1961 to 17/6/1962, explains his extensive use of notebooks as an outlet for his creativity 'But I don't want to make diary entries. This should be a notebook in a much wider sense: should contain notes for creative work, notes that will be shoved away and never used if written on loose sheets of paper'. Some notebooks overlap as he would 'run two books at the same time, one a record of my thinking on several important subjects, the other made up of various notes made on other subjects (topics for poems, etc.)'.
