Description
Finding Limberlost Press
There is a special connection between the Limberlost Press and its poets. Founders Rick and Rosemary Ardinger have published much notable poetry in their fine letterpress editions, but there is much more to Limberlost than just the books.
No Such Person:
Witter Bynner Rediscovered
Among the group of poetic spirits that survived the tumultuous period between 1900 and 1940 were Carl Sandburg, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Robert Frost, as well as the now mostly-forgotten Witter Bynner, who deserves to be included among the cultural icons of his age.
Collecting Richard Aldington
From the time of his first periodical publication in 1908 until his death in 1962, Richard Aldington was responsible for more than 200 separately published titles in a variety of genres. Although he is primarily remembered as one of the Imagist poets—a group that included Amy Lowell and Ezra Pound—he was much more than that.
