RICHARD WILMARTH PAPERS
1979-2003

MSG# 165

 

SERIES V	DEAD METAPHOR PRESS	DATES
1.5' (3 Boxes)		1985-2003

The records in this series relate to the production of publications by Wilmarth's Dead Metaphor Press. The press was established in 1992 with the specific purpose to "publish carefully constructed work and have it enter the historical record' " (see folder #1). The  Dead Metaphor Press chapbooks series published the works of John McKernan, Tracy Davis, Anselm Hollo, Randy Roark, Mark Ducharme, Maureen Foley and Bill Morgan.

The materials, with the exception of the first few folders, have been separated into two sub-series. The first sub-series is "Books-Production", the second is "Books-Published". Typical materials in the Production sub-series include text copy, book mock-ups, cover designs, camera ready copy, production notes, and sometimes correspondence with the authors. Typical material in the Published sub-series consists two copies of the booklet, numbered and or signed. Many of the original manuscripts for these productions can be found in Series II, Manuscripts.  The folders for each sub-series are arranged alphabetically by the title of the publication.
