Fulcrum Press

Fulcrum Press

Fulcrum Press was founded by Stuart Montgomery in the mid 1960s with the intention of publishing good quality editions of contemporary poetry in the modernist tradition.

] and the same poet's "Collected Poems" (1968), Fulcrum published books by Ed Dorn, Robert Duncan, Larry Eigner, Roy Fisher, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Allen Ginsberg, Lee Harwood, David Jones, Lorine Niedecker, Jeff Nuttall, Tom Pickard, Jerome Rothenberg and Gary Snyder, amongst others.

By publishing "avant-garde" poetry from both Britain and the United States, the press made a significant contribution to the British Poetry Revival.

In the mid 1970s, Fulcrum Press folded and, unfortunately, most of the stock was pulped.
