Sarah Race's award-winning short documentary on Barbarian Press! In 2015 Sarah Race asked if she might make a short film about us and the press, and the * * * * * On The Marriage of True Minds The Marriage of True Minds is another triumph for you. The selection of poems seems inspired, and the engravings beautiful and appropriate. It is a splendid tribute to a clearly happy marriage and a lifetime of work in your magnificent press. The layout, the printing, the binding [are all] in perfect harmony. Thank you once again for making these beautiful and important books. On Wayzgoose Pamphlet Two: The Dingbat... Your Wayzgoose Pamphlet on the Noble Dingbat is a delight from start to finish. On Sudden Immobility: Selected Poems of Molly Holden I received your magnificent book. I really don’t know what to say. It is stunning. What a triumph for all of you. This is no slim volume of poetry. What an expansive, glorious tome! |

‘From the beginning, publishing private press books that collectors actually want to hold and read, over and over again, has always been the Barbarian Press stock-in-trade.’ Jack Katz, Subscriber
Barbarian Press Two new Barbarian publications have appeared so far in 2023: the second in our series of Wayzgoose Pamphlets in the spring, and The Marriage of True Minds in the summer. The latter celebrates our 50 years of marriage and 45 years of making books with 50 love poems ranging from Sappho to Shakespeare to contemporary poets; seven of these are accompanied by wood engravings from our artist friends and collaborators over the course of five decades. The response to this book has been overwhelmingly positive, and only a few copies remain for sale. A third book, An Avian Alphabet, comprising 30 woodcuts by BC artist Edith Krause with prose and poetry by Canadian writers is scheduled for publication in October. This is being co-published with the artist’s Sperling Printshop. Work on Bordering on the Sublime is progressing smoothly: in addition to David Jury’s historical overview of the Curwen Press, Crispin’s extensive essay is now being composed and printed; Apollonia has completed ‘The Gallery of Borders’, a showing of 50 ornamental borders, most of them two-colour. We anticipate sending sheets to the binder in the summer of 2024. PLEASE GO TO ‘BOOKS IN PRINT’ AND ‘BOOKS FORTHCOMING’ TO SEE IMAGES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL THESE PUBLICATIONS AND MORE.
