The
Collected Poems of George Butterick.
Edited by Richard Blevins.
Introduction by Robert Creeley.
 While George Butterick
was known as a devoted scholar of the
work of Charles Olson, he was also an
accomplished poet in his own right.
This volume contains the poems published
in smaller volumes, from The Norse in
1973 to Mummy Strands and Others in
1987. Before his death in August of
1988, he and the editor of this volume,
Richard Blevins, identified additional,
uncollected poems for inclusion. The
plan of the volume is George Butterick's.
Together the poems form, as Robert Creeley
writes in his introduction, an "intelligent
response" to the human situation. Paperbound
with dust jacket. 1988. 243 p.

Descriptive
Catalog of the Private Library of Thomas
Lockwood.
Robert J. Bertholf.
Thomas B. Lockwood was
a Buffalo lawyer and businessman. He
was one of many successful and wealthy
men who collected books and built magnificent
libraries. In 1935 he donated his collection
of rare books to the University of Buffalo.
With the publication of this descriptive
catalog, the full scope and richness
of Lockwood's collection are now visible.
Like other major collectors of his time,
Lockwood collected a general library
of great books. He did not want his
collection sold at auction, so his donation
to the University of Buffalo came as
a desire for others to have as much
pleasure and intellectual satisfaction
from the books as he had. His collection
has a very carefully designed breadth.
First editions of the major literary
texts in British and American literature
are at the foundation of the collection.
There are also strong runs of the publications
of private presses; the Doves Press,
Kelmscott Press and Ashendene Press,
for examples, as well as the publications
of the Grolier Club and the Bibliophile
Society. There are many examples of
elegant bindings by Zaehnsdorf, The
Club Bindery, Riviere and Sons, as well
as the very accomplished Buffalo binder,
John Grabau. Thomas. B. Lockwood was
a reader of books as well as a collector,
so the library contains books on history,
biography and intellectual history.
He was intrigued by the lives of the
famous, and attracted to the great works
of literature. His private library is
a testimony to one man's dedication
to book collecting and a grand treasure
for the Libraries of the State University
of New York at Buffalo.
398 p. 16 p. of plates.
Hardbound with dust jacket.
$35.00.

J. Bertholf relates Stanczak's painting
to contemporary poetic theory. The book

Martha
Visser't Hooft.
Edited by Robert J. Bertholf.
 Martha
Visser't Hooft was born in Buffalo in
1906, and developed her passion for
art in Paris and New York City in the
1920s and 1930s. Her early work, particularly
that of the 1940s, was indebted to the
formulations of Surrealism. During the
1950s she established a career as a
painter in New York City as well as
in Buffalo. Her paintings of this period
reflected the sense of Abstract Expressionism
without being limited to its forms.
She was an energetic and innovative
painter in the artistic world of Western
New York State. This collection features
essays by Robert J. Bertholf, Dr. Albert
Michaels, Professor of History at SUNY/Buffalo,
and Martha Visser't Hooft. Color prints
are featured throughout the book.
