Reviews

"From the Limberlost Press website: Limberlost Press began in the spring of 1976 with the publication of The Limberlost Review, No. 1, a magazine of poetry. The first issues of the magazine were quick-printed, collated, folded, stapled and distributed like many other small press magazines of the 1960s and 1970s. In 1986, the editors winched a couple of Chandler & Price platen presses into a garage-turned-studio and began to set and print chapbooks books with lead type. Over the years, the press has published books and broadsides by such writers as Allen Ginsberg, Sherman Alexie, Anne Waldman, Ed Dorn, Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, John Haines, Gary Gildner, Judith Root, John Updike, Jim Harrison, Ed Sanders, Margaret Aho, Robert Creeley, Jennifer Dunbar Dorn, Keith Wilson, Hayden Carruth, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and others. Limberlost Press is dedicated to publishing finely printed books of poetry, fiction and non-fiction by both established and emerging writers. Limberlost believes fine work deserves to be presented and preserved on fine papers. Limberlost poetry chapbooks are letterpress printed on archival-quality papers and sewn by hand into limited editions for collectors and other discerning readers. The editors want readers to collect these books as heirlooms to pass along to the next generation. Sample reviews ""Although I don't search the market for beautiful, hand-sewn books, if there are any more beautifully made books at this price, you should buy all of them too . . . Exquisite choice of type face, multiple-colored covers and inking, a wide range of end and text papers, make these books excellent choices for thoughtful giving. They belong in every serious collection."" --Charles Potts, The Temple ""In publishing John Haines' Of Your Passage, O Summer, you have performed a very great service to the whole world of art and literature. His poems are beyond beautiful; they are important, uniquely valuable, and a destination for the hopes and ambitions of us all."" --Hayden Carruth, Unsolicited Letter, November 24, 2004 ""Add Nancy Takacs's name to the list of Utah's best-kept secrets. These poems [in Juniper] are beautifully crafted, well-drawn from deliberately lived, introspective experience . . . Her truths are clothes in the silk of well-drawn imagery and are revealed in a manner that produces a life enhancing afterglow."" --David Lee ""For all the grim savagery of Bruce Embree's subject matter [in No Wild Dog Howled]--mental institutions, alcoholism, total financial ruin, and, omnipresently, death--Embree maintains a dry-as-August-sage sense of humor that is bone chilling and exhilarating. Survival constantly lurks in his poems, and is his greatest gift to the reader."" --Western American Literature ""I happen to believe that there are a lot of good poets around at present, but a poet like Alex Kuo, who possesses a highly developed moral sense and a bitter honesty, is rare at any time, and especially in this time. We need him. -- Carolyn Kizer"
