The term "Hungry Generation" refers to Indian poets of the 1960s and early 1970s. This collection consists mainly of correspondence between Indian poet and translator Arvind Krishna Mehrotra and Howard McCord, an American poet who edited the anthology Young Poets of India. Mehrotra helped McCord locate Indian poets for this and another anthology. The letters contain discussions of poetry in India and the United States and some include poems as well.

The collection also includes typescripts of poems by Mehrotra and Malay Roy Choudhury, several Indian periodicals which published poetry, and letters and poems by various Indian poets who submitted material for publication in McCord's anthology. This material was purchased from a California bookseller.
