Each volume includes five original color prints on ivory wove handmade Hahnemühle paper made directly on the screens by the individual artists. “Abstract expressionist artists . were not particularly involved with printmaking or encouraged to create artists’ books. Another significant and undervalued exception . are four oversize books by the New York School of poets, each paired with large, colorful screen-prints by four second- generation abstract expressionist artists. Each bound volume in the untitled boxed set contains five screen-prints, including the title page and covers. This is Hartigan’s only book illustrated with original prints.” “These four volumes – The Poems, Permanently, Salute, and Odes – were a collaboration between four leading artists of the second-generation of abstract expressionist painters and four of their poet friends of the New York School. The screen print medium that was chosen was the perfect vehicle to convey painterly gesture and saturated color. Along with 21 Etchings and Poems (1960) published by the Morris Gallery, N.Y., these four volumes published by the Tiber Press were the only distinguished artists’ books containing abstract expressionist works created during the 1950s.” – Robert Flynn Johnson, Artists’ Books in the Modern Era 1870-2000.

    Calvalcanty by Peter Hughes (Carcanet Press): Medieval on a Scooter I Ian Brinton

    206 | GOLDEN HANDCUFFS REVIEW Calvalcanty by Peter Hughes (Carcanet Press): Medieval on a scooter I Ian Brinton In a letter from late 1831 to Julius Charles Hare of the Philological Museum William Wordsworth made a comment concerning his experiments in translation: Having been displeased, in modern translations, with the additions of incongruous matter, I began to translate with a resolve to keep clear of that fault, by adding nothing; but I became convinced that a spirited translation can scarcely be accomplished in the English language without admitting a principle of compensation. The translation work that Wordsworth was engaged with was from Virgil’s Aeneid and one poet laureate was commenting upon another when C. Day Lewis referred to this passage in his 1969Jackson Knight Memorial Lecture on ‘Translating Poetry’: By this principle we presumably mean putting things in which are not there, to compensate for leaving things out which cannot be adequately rendered. IAN BRINTON | 207 Day Lewis went on to suggest that much greater liberties can justifiably be taken with lyric verse than with narrative or didactic and that very word liberties possesses a hint of danger, revolution, of turning a world upside down: taking a liberty! In translating Cavalcanti’s ‘Canzone’ (Donna mi priegha) Ezra Pound had suggested that the poem, “may have appeared about as soothing to the Florentine of A.D. 1290 as conversation about Tom Paine, Marx, Lenin and Bucharin would to-day in a Methodist bankers’ board meeting in Memphis, Tenn.” Pound showed his translation

  • An Interview with Mary Laird Conducted by Kyle Schlesinger

    An Interview with Mary Laird Conducted by Kyle Schlesinger

    REMEMBERING THE LIGHT: AN INTERVIEW WITH MARY LAIRD CONDUCTED BY KYLE SCHLESINGER Mary Laird is a book artist, printer, teacher, and actively involved in the Sufi Order of the West. She earned her MFA from University of Wisconsin at Madison where she and Walter Hamady ran the legendary Perishable Press Limited together for 15 years. She has been printing letterpress as Quelquefois Press since 1969, and has taught at San Francisco State University, Naropa University, San Francisco Center for the Book, and in her Berkeley studio. KS: Perhaps I could begin at the beginning, so to speak, by asking about your earliest associations and affinities for books. For example, were there books in the home where you grew up? Did you write or keep scrapbooks as a kid? Who were some of the first writers and artists that enlivened your imagination or got you thinking about books as an exploratory medium? I know, for example, that Robert Duncan and Jonathan Williams treasured their libraries from childhood, and I think that there are traces of that ongoing affinity in their mature work. ML: When I was growing up in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, we had a whole room upstairs, dedicated as “library.” In it were editions of Dickens, John Burroughs, Cervantes (complete with etchings,) Jane Austen, Thackeray, and Samuel Clements, to name a few. They were all from my paternal grandfather Arthur Gordon’s turn of the century collection. One memorable tome on the world religions, published in 1893, featured an etching of Mohammad, which as you know, is forbidden! Arthur Gordon was a student at Cornell in Ithaca, New York, back then, having made his way from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia.

    Naked Lunch for Lawyers: William S. Burroughs on Capital Punishment

    Batey: Naked LunchNAKED for Lawyers: LUNCH William FOR S. Burroughs LAWYERS: on Capital Punishme WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, PORNOGRAPHY, THE DRUG TRADE, AND THE PREDATORY NATURE OF HUMAN INTERACTION t ROBERT BATEY* At eighty-two, William S. Burroughs has become a literary icon, "arguably the most influential American prose writer of the last 40 years,"' "the rebel spirit who has witch-doctored our culture and consciousness the most."2 In addition to literature, Burroughs' influence is discernible in contemporary music, art, filmmaking, and virtually any other endeavor that represents "what Newt Gingrich-a Burroughsian construct if ever there was one-likes to call the counterculture."3 Though Burroughs has produced a steady stream of books since the 1950's (including, most recently, a recollection of his dreams published in 1995 under the title My Education), Naked Lunch remains his masterpiece, a classic of twentieth century American fiction.4 Published in 1959' to t I would like to thank the students in my spring 1993 Law and Literature Seminar, to whom I assigned Naked Lunch, especially those who actually read it after I succumbed to fears of complaints and made the assignment optional. Their comments, as well as the ideas of Brian Bolton, a student in the spring 1994 seminar who chose Naked Lunch as the subject for his seminar paper, were particularly helpful in the gestation of this essay; I also benefited from the paper written on Naked Lunch by spring 1995 seminar student Christopher Dale. Gary Minda of Brooklyn Law School commented on an early draft of the essay, as did several Stetson University colleagues: John Cooper, Peter Lake, Terrill Poliman (now at Illinois), and Manuel Ramos (now at Tulane) of the College of Law, Michael Raymond of the English Department and Greg McCann of the School of Business Administration.

Without a press of its own, however, the college relied on the office typewriter for the first preliminary announcements and more generally on Biltmore Press, Asheville’s leading commercial job printer, for its first years’ issues of bulletins, catalogs, and educational statements. But for the purposes of his students’ education, and for the second-tier job printing of administrative forms and stationery, publicity flyers and brochures, programs and announcements for musical and dramatic presentations, Albers needed a press.1 He set Alexander (Xanti) Schawinsky on the hunt for one.

    Poem on the Page: a Collection of Broadsides

    Granary Books and Jeff Maser, Bookseller are pleased to announce Poem on the Page: A Collection of Broadsides Robert Creeley. For Benny and Sabina. 15 1/8 x 15 1/8 inches. Photograph by Ann Charters. Portents 18. Portents, 1970. BROADSIDES PROLIFERATED during the small press and mimeograph era as a logical offshoot of poets assuming control of their means of publication. When technology evolved from typewriter, stencil, and mimeo machine to moveable type and sophisticated printing, broadsides provided a site for innovation with design and materials that might not be appropriate for an entire pamphlet or book; thus, they occupy a very specific place within literary and print culture. Poem on the Page: A Collection of Broadsides includes approximately 500 broadsides from a diverse range of poets, printers, designers, and publishers. It is a unique document of a particular aspect of the small press movement as well as a valuable resource for research into the intersection of poetry and printing. See below for a list of some of the poets, writers, printers, typographers, and publishers included in the collection. Selected Highlights from the Collection Lewis MacAdams.

Negro Anthology. 4to, illustrations, fold-out map, original brown linen over beveled boards, lettered and stamped in red, top edge stained brown. London: Published by Nancy Cunard at Wishart & Co, 1934. First edition, first issue binding, of this landmark anthology. Nancy Cunard, an independently wealthy English heiress, edited Negro Anthology with her African-American lover, Henry Crowder, to whom she dedicated the anthology, and published it at her own expense in an edition of 1000 copies. Cunard’s seminal compendium of prose, poetry, and musical scores chiefly reflecting the black experience in the United States was a socially and politically radical expression of Cunard’s passionate activism, her devotion to civil rights and her vehement anti-fascism, which, not surprisingly given the times in which she lived, contributed to a communist bias that troubles some critics of Cunard and her anthology. Cunard’s account of the trial of the Scottsboro Boys, published in 1932, provoked racist hate mail, some of which she published in the anthology. Among the 150 writers who contributed approximately 250 articles are W. E. B. Du Bois, Arna Bontemps, Sterling Brown, Countee Cullen, Alain Locke, Arthur Schomburg, Samuel Beckett, who translated a number of essays by French writers; Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, William Carlos Williams, Louis Zukofsky, George Antheil, Ezra Pound, Theodore Dreiser, among many others.
