If you don't know Sick Fly / Tangerine productions, you can thank me later. William Wantling (19331974) was an American poet, novelist, and visual artist whose work captured the grit and intensity of mid-20th-century life. Known for his raw and unflinching honesty, Wantling's poetry often reflected his turbulent personal experiences, including his time as a Marine, his struggles with heroin addiction, and his years in prison. His work is considered a significant contribution to the post-Beat literary movement. Tangerine Press is dedicated to championing works by authors who often exist on the fringes of society, embracing misfits, mavericks, and misanthropes. Their catalog includes a diverse range of voices, from cult poets like Wantling and Billy Childish to Booker Prize winner James Kelman.
