ABOUT THE MANY PRESS

Founded in 1975, the Many Press has published around eighty separate items ­ books, pamphlets and broadsheets, as well as two magazines.

This is the World Wide Web publication of what was the first full descriptive catalogue of the Press’ output. The paper version of these pages was issued in 1995.

I should like to thank all those people who have assisted the Press; illustrators and designers who have given their services free; typesetters who on occasion have done likewise; various individuals who have loaned or donated money; and the poets themselves ­ publishing of this kind is a cooperative venture.

The Press when founded was part of the poetic revival of the late Sixties and early Seventies; there was a feeling, quite widely shared, that much of what was most interesting was likely to be found outside the productions of the mainstream publishers. Changes in the technology of typesetting and printing also had much to do with it. During the Seventies I printed a number of publications at the Printshop of the Poetry Society. Financially the Press has always been a non-profit-making venture, though the limitations of my time and energy, rather than financial considerations, are what have mainly restricted the Press’ output.

These World Wide Web pages currently comprise a complete, annotated catalogue of Many Press publications during its first twenty years. Over the next few months we will be adding notices of new publications as they appear.

Part One of the catalogue gives details of all publications that have appeared since 1987, starting with the most recent.

Part Two provides a briefly annotated checklist of all remaining publications, including those in the Broadsheet series, which are listed separately.

In Part Three there are details of the two magazines, Vanessa Poetry Magazine and The Many Review, that were published by the Press at different times.

Below, as part of this home page there is a complete Author and Title Index to the Catalogue.
