Title
The Small Literary Press in Canada, 1964-72: A Communicational Analysis of Alternative Forms and Resistant Practices
Abstract
Between 1964 and 1972, an unprecedented number of small English-language literary book-publishing presses were founded in Canada by writers as vehicles for writers and writing considered to lack adequate outlets for publication. The author argues that these small literary presses constituted an alternative media practice and can be seen to have functioned, in part, as a form of resistance to the priorities and practices of the established literary and publishing community. Among the small literary presses during this period were several based in Montreal, including: Catupult, Delta Canada, Poverty Press, Chateau Books, Tundra Books, Ingluvin Publications, Jawbreaker Press, Writers' Cooperative, Disposable Paper Press, and Golden Dog Press.
