James Schuyler Selected Works

Schuyler's second poetry chapbook, published in 1966.

A limited edition chapbook of 200 copies, printed with The Poetry Project. Poems by both Schuyler and Helena Hughes.

A handmade chapbook of 500 copies consisting of selected prose entries from Schuyler's journals.

The collaborative nature of the New York School is echoed in this work from 1976, which marries Schuyler's text and Claire Van Vliet's artistry. The Fireproof Floors of Witley Court is particularly rare, as it was created for Janus Press subscribers and copies were rarely sold to the public. The book features 12 poems by Schuyler, beginning with a cautionary tale of Samuel Dawkes' so-called fireproof Witley Court, which turned out to be flammable. Other poems examine life in late 19th and early 20th century England. Bright orange paper wraps are embossed with a silver man in the moon, echoed on the rear page. The purple silhouette of Levens Hall, Westmorland, England, a manor home dating from 1350, with a green silhouette of the celebrated topiary gardens established in 1694, are featured on the cut out endpapers. Originally printed in 150 copies.
