Green Lantern Press
Green Lantern Press is simply making some of the most beautiful, singular limited run book objects of anybody in the pack. If you haven’t browsed their catalog recently, it’s overflowing: such a wide range of things to dig in, from new translation of Rimbaud, to art space phone books, to indexes and collection, so on.
In particular, I’ve been trying to write a review of THE NORTH GEORGIA GAZETTE AND WINTER CHRONICLE by William Edward Parry and the crews of the Hecla and Griper for about six months now, (“An annotated transcription of the 1821 newspaper, The North Georgia Gazette. The newspaper, written and published aboard an English ship trapped in the Arctic, was an attempt by the captain to lessen the boredom of a long, isolated winter.”) and every time I pick up the book to dig further, I get so consumed in a single page that reading the book as a whole could conceivably go on forever. More on this hopefully sometime soon, but in the meantime: revel in some of this.

[…] some madprops for the North Georgia Gazette (and other titles). You can check it out by going here. It’s like seeing Parry’s name on internet lights. Which is pretty great considering he […]
YES. they are the hidden bomb.

Holy crap. I had never heard of this press OR that book. It’s expensive but I think I’m going to have to buy it. Thanks for the link!

Green Lantern Press books are beautiful! Once there was a table. The table was at AWP. The table was a Green Lantern Press table. But no one was selling books at the table. No one sold books at the table and thus one waited at the table, and no one arrived. No one arrived, and thus one waited, and thus one’s waiting paid: Green Lantern Press books eventually surfaced–at used bookstores, on the Internet, and on HTMLGiant, the internet literature magazine blog of the future.

Man o man. It’s true. I was the person to sell those books. I didn’t even go to a panel that year, spent the whole time sitting at the table, going to get something to eat, and sometimes walking around. I loved the whole thing, but it makes sense the sometimes the table would seem unoccupied. Apologies for that. It’s pretty tough running a small operation. Most of the time it works out. That said, I’ll be at AWP again this year in Denver, and will be sure to be around all hours. In fact, if you give me a heads up I’ll make a point to stay table-bound and shake your hand like old-timers.
thanks for all the mad props folks. I really love doing this and have been lucky to work with some amazing people. Look forward to new titles this April!
