Fragments Press

New York

(c)1971

Illustrations throughout by Neil Greenberg. Fragments Press seems to have disappeared without much of an internet "footprint". Mr. Truesdale was the author of several books of poetry, this one among his earliest. 

I like the use of differing fonts and some spacial deviations that I am quite used to seeing now but was kind of surprised to see in a 1971 chapbook. He's experimenting and I fully appreciate his efforts and those of Fragments Press, a press that was associated with Rutgers University. The books from Fragments Press were distributed by New Rivers Press (NYC), also a press I know next to nothing about.
