Way, Way Off the RoadSeveral years ago the Ibbetson Street Press, published a Hugh Fox poetry collection: Angel of Death. I had never actually met Fox in the flesh, but I was aware of his substantial contributions to the small press over the past 40 years. Fox was a founding member of the Pushcart Prize, a founding board member of COSMEP, (a seminal small press organization), edited the groundbreaking anthology The Living Underground, to name just a few achievements. Fox is full of anecdotes about many of the stumblebums, poets, poseurs, players, publishers, editors, with all their infinite variety, on the small press scene. I am glad this manuscript has seen the light of day. And when you read it hopefully you will see the light too. Doug Holder/Ibbetson Street Pres |
