Preview: Richard Kostelanetz on his lifetime of discovery -- as writer, editor, and publisher

Since the 1960s, Richard Kostelanetz has been a distinctive voice for experimentation in poetry, fiction, and criticism. The author or editor of over 100 books, Kostelanetz has been an integral part of the New York City avant-garde scene for several generations, working in a seemingly inexhaustible variety of boundary-crossing genres -- among them “visual poetry,” “audiotapographies,” “foreshortenings,” and “kinetic writings.” He has also published anthologies and analyses of composer/author John Cage, critic Virgil Thomson, poet e e cummings, and many others. In this excerpt from our forthcoming full-length interview with Kostelanetz, he talks about the path of discovery he has followed as an artist and entrepreneur. #richardkostelanetz #johncage #virgilthomson #eecummings #avantgarde #avantgardesoho #avantgardeNYC #eastvillageart #greenwichvillage #soholofts #loftliving #sohogalleries #experimentalfiction #experimentalwriting #digitalpublishing #digitalpress
