Description: Shy of the Squirrel's Foot by Andy Martrich Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Jargon Society, a boundary-pushing publisher of poetry and experimental writing, was founded by Jonathan Williams (1929–2008) in 1951. Williams himself looms large in this story as the publisher at Jargon until his death, making this book as much about his life and work as the press, which now operates through the Black Mountain College Museum. Publisher Description The Jargon Society, a boundary-pushing publisher of poetry and experimental writing, was founded by Jonathan Williams (1929–2008) in 1951. Jargon quickly gained a reputation as the home of the poetic and literary avant-garde. Their bibliography includes noted midcentury poets like Charles Olson and Lorine Niedecker. Williams himself looms large in this story as the publisher at Jargon until his death, making this book as much about his life and work as the press he founded, which today operates through the Black Mountain College Museum in Asheville, North Carolina. Andy Martrich has authored this story in a manner befitting Jargons ethos of literary experimentation by focusing on the books the Society cataloged but never published. While its not uncommon for a small press to plan for books that dont make it to publication, Martrich argues that Jargons incessant financial difficulties, coupled with Williamss impressive network, makes its trail of unfinished projects unique and an ideal way to chronicle the press itself. Using archival research, interviews with volunteers at Jargon, and more, Martrich gives readers not only an intimate look into a Southern press and publisher, but also an important history of modern and experimental literature in twentieth-century America. Also included in one place for the first time is Jargons annotated bibliography, detailing every book the press published. Author Biography Andy Martrich is a poet, publisher, and archivist.
