Poet, editor, and publisher of the legendary "C" Press, Ted Berrigan (1934-1983) was a charismatic presence on the literary scene of New York's Lower East Side during the '60s and '70s. Through anecdotal descriptions, Ted Berrigan: An Annotated Checklist provides a vivid glimpse of one writer's life as seen through his publications. Illustrated throughout with collaborations between Berrigan and Painter George Schneeman and with an introduction by Lewis Warsh, this book is a must for all with an interest in the literary underground. As contributor Anne Waldman puts it, "more imaginative &amp; investigative than a mere checklist".

The Cutting Edge Of Reading: Artists' Books

Judd D. Hubert

Renee Riese Hubert

Johanna Drucker is among the foremost authorities on the history of alphabets, writing, artists' books, and visual poetry. This book is a compendium of Drucker's thought - yet rather than anthologize from her numerous published books, Figuring the Word collects writings only previously found in academic and literary journals, as well as transcriptions of her lectures and interviews. The book is divided into sections, each with several chapters, which include "Writing as Artifact", "Visual Poetics", "Artists' Books Past and Future" and "The Future of Writing". None of the work in Figuring the Word has ever been published in book form before, and yet it extends and reveals the already broad range of Drucker's voracious and penetrating intellect.
