Etudes by Keith Wilson (1997)

 Etudes

Keith Wilson

Limberlost Press

Boise, ID

(c)1997

The Press seems to have been a labor of love for Rick & Rosemary Ardinger who served as editors for the Press and therefore for this handsome chapbook. A mere 7 poems but one can almost taste the air with them. 

The poet ought not be confused with the poet Keith S. Wilson. 

Locked Doors by Edward Steese (1984)

 Locked Doors : The Last poems of Edward Steese 

(selected and arranged by Charles Robbins)

From the estate of Edward Steese

(c)1984

I have had this one for a bit and it was lost in the stacks. It's neither a chapbook nor strictly speaking a mimeo but I wanted to mention its existence so - here tis. It's a coffee table book sized specially printed paperback. Apparently there was a fancier and more expensive hardcover of this book, but this isn't that. If one is familiar with the man - this one is clearly for you. 

Layers : Poems by Roberta Keller (1987)

Layers by Roberta Keller

The Arts and Music Exchange

Washington, DC 

(c)1987

This copy is inscribed and signed by the author. I never heard of this poet and am not familiar with the publisher. I found nothing about this Art and Music Exchange online. It must have been of the moment. 

 

The Red Room by Geraldine Connolly (1988)

 The Red Room

Geraldine Connolly

Heatherstone Press, Inc.

(c) 1988

#32 of 300 printed. Inscribed and signed inside front. The book is actually thicker than it might have otherwise been since every other page is empty except for copy of the cover image on it. Odd decision. 

Germination by Aden Field (1975)

 

Germination 

Aden Field 

The Aliens Collaboration

Durham, NC

(c)1975

Illustrations by Phil Shore. Realized by Dave Birkhead. Small format, handsome staple-bound chapbook. Printed by Regulator Press in Durham. 

I have heard, somewhere, of Regulator Press. But not this imprint or this Dave Birkhead fellow or Phil Shore. 

But it is signed inside back by both the illustrator and the poet, #95 of this limited released book of 300 copies.
