This is to announce that I’ve started up a small press, Wild Honey Press, in
fact.
The aims are:
-- to make decent looking chapbooks quickly so that a poet, so far me, can
have copies of up to date work in presentable form to give to people.
-- to allow for the possibility of an evolving text. The booklets are done
in groups of twenty or so and feedback from readers or whatever can be built
into the next version in the edition.
-- to allow the poem or group of poems to have an appropriate setting. Due
to the many constraints they have to work under, legit. publishers can
sometimes operate on the Procrustes principle.
-- to short circuit angst with booksellers by exploring other means of
distributing.
So far there are two chapbooks:
_Rana Rana!_ twelve poems (30 pp) and _Arbor Vitae_ a medium to long
(depending on your stamina) poem (20pp) both books by myself, Randolph Healy.
The price of each is £3.50 or $5.00 (dollars in cash please.) If you’d like
a copy but are short of funds all this talk of money is just for show
really. Keeping up tradition. A straight swap for some of your work - in
any form - is more than acceptable. Don’t forget to let me have your
snail-mail address.
I will be publishing other writers soon.
Keep an eye open.
Best wishes,
Randolph.
