The Correspondence series comprises of letters, greeting cards, post cards, and emails between Pacosz, her cohorts, and family members. Of particular note are correspondence between Pacosz, her family in Poland, her parents, and her daughter Elena Flathman. The latter two are regarding the birth and adoption of Flathman, as well as Pacosz and Flatman's reunion nearly thirty years after Flathman's birth. Many of Pacosz' writings reflect upon her feelings about her daughters birth and the outcome of their reunion. Later emails revolve around politics, health issues, and grief.

Two other distinctive features of the collection include a large binder of email exchanges between Pacosz and contemporary Iranian poet, translator, and free-lance journalst Farideh Hassanzadeh-Mostafavi and correspondence between Fredy and Lorraine Perlman. Fredy Perlman was an author, publisher, professor, and activist. Both Perlman and his wife Lorraine were founders of Black & Red Press. The folder also contains notes and clippings regarding various works by Pacosz.

The binder containing email correspondence between Pacosz and Mostafavi reflects upon their comraderie, as well as their mutual respect for one another's writings.
