Item description from seller

Printed letterpress on Somerset and Whatman in an edition of 46 numbered and signed copies. Handbound in Japanese Teachest by Claudia Cohen. The book comprises 70 pages of Howe’s collage poems accompanied by "Envoi," issued as a chapbook printed on Whatman. The two books are enclosed in a slipcase made of Teachest and Satogami. A beautiful production from Leslie Miller at Grenfell Press. As new, at published price. "Concordance presents a body of fiercely non-conformist poems. These works—full of transplantations and ghostly whispers, excisions and erasures, fragments of half-remembered bonds and newly felt correspondences—seem to lift off the page in 'rotating prisms.' Coursing through Concordance is an exultant, savage spirit of salvage, redeeming stories that seemingly can never be told, and yet (with the witchcraft of the omitted words somehow edging themselves back in again) making the old new and bringing—via split, treasured words—lost worlds home." (Grenfell Press.).

Seller's business information

Granary Books, Inc.

168 Mercer St. #2
New York, NY U.S.A. 10012

For over thirty-five years, Granary Books has brought together writers, artists, and bookmakers to investigate verbal/visual relations in the time-honored spirit of independent publishing. Our mission to produce, promote, document, and theorize new works exploring the intersection of word, image, and page has earned Granary Books a reputation as one of the most unique and significant small publishers operating today.

Our project has been strengthened by our involvement in the organization, preservation, and sale of archives, manuscripts, and rare books by important contemporary writers and artists. While publishing remains central to Granary's purpose, we are also deeply involved with a widespread and local community of writers, poets, and artists. For years Granary occupied a gallery space in SoHo, hosting countless public events, lectures, and readings while curating exhibits related to books, book art, poetry, and writing. Now, from headquarters on Mercer Street, recent projects include Threads Talks Series, a book with audio recordings available on Penn Sound;From a Secret Location, a digital repository of little magazines, small presses, and other materials from the mimeo area; and continued involvement in exhibitions and publishing.

We believe that Granary's publishing, preservation, and community outreach has significant long-term implications for the fields of writing and book art. Since the mid-nineties, Granary has sought to produce, promote, and contextualize scholarship investigating an emerging history of small press publishing, poetry, and artists books. Many of the books we have produced in this vein, including Johanna Drucker's essential The Century of Artists Books, Jerome Rothenberg and Steve Clay's A Book of the Book: Some Works & Projections About the Book & Writing, and Steve Clay and Rodney Phillips's A Secret Location on the Lower East Side are now being used as textbooks at the college level, further opening and legitimizing the field for a new generation of scholars and practitioners.

Granary Books remains committed to publishing innovative written and visual work, observing progressive scholarship, and supporting adventurous bookmaking while exploring the relationships between seeing and reading, reading and seeking.
