Nicholas James Whittington
Bird & Beckett
San Francisco
(c) 2012
Bird & Beckett is a bookstore in San Francisco. Bird & Beckett is also an imprint of books printed through the bookstore. Nicholas James Whittington is a poet - who is the person who operates the imprint for the bookstore. Nicholas James Whittington has three books out through the imprint that he manages. While I like the concept and layout of the book, publishing three of your own books via an imprint that you also manage borderlines being a vanity press. Then again, this chapbook was released 14 years ago, and Nicholas James Whittington's stature has changed since then. Perhaps this imprint no longer exists. As a snapshot in one man's creative process, this is definitely worth the finding.
