Authors & Titles Published by Longhouse

 
Since 1971

Longhouse has been working as one outfit incorporating the building trades of stone work and carpentry along with publishing limited edition books, pamphlets, broadsides, postcards and anthologies of poetry--nearly everything has been given away free. The idea of free is a good one, it disappears the capital structure and allows people to finally meet one another. Grants, subscriptions and all the rest will soon prove to be more nonsense than necessary for poetry--poets can't help themselves, they write poems all the time and read the books, many go to great lengths to beg, borrow or steal a book. That's a good sign. If a small press publisher wants to work hard, many dozens of books will be readily traded each year with other publishers. Instead of goofing for grants and becoming a bureaucrat and not feeling exactly honest, the small press publisher can learn a trade, teach, grow a larger garden, drive a cab. Real people still do this. Watch this: In 1985 Longhouse took steps to sell books as a mail-order bookseller. What we sold directly spring-fed back to what Longhouse wished to publish. We joined arms with good friend Cid Corman (Origin Press) in Japan and began working globally with poets and writers. Hardcase-backwoods-types, we never gave computers or internet access a thought until one day a friend brought us to cyber-earth and explained how booksellers in the middle of nowhere can sell books over the internet to China, England and Des Moines. In many ways the system has the age old romantic quality of bookselling and reading: someone (us) wrapping the book especially and a reader (you) receiving the book slipped out of the mailer and into your hands. Bullseye. This activity was once enjoyed only by eccentrics, scholars and island types, so hop aboard. It's a brave new world. --
