LAWRENCE DURRELL ELEGY ON THE CLOSING OF THE FRENCH BROTHELS. Alyscamps Press is proud to announce the publication, on February 27th 2012, to coincide with the centenary of his birth, of a fine press limited edition of a broadside of one of Lawrence Durrell?s most accomplished poems. On April 13th 1946 a former street prostitute, Marthe Richard, who had become a town councilor, saw the passing of a law named after her, which closed down the French brothels, or maisons, made famous by the photographs of Durrell?s friend Brassa? and his literary hero Henry Miller, in Tropic of Cancer. In response to this event, Durrell wrote one of his finest poems, a polemic which encompasses his love affair with women, Paris, France, and French culture. The poem is dedicated to Henry Miller and their mutual friend, Greek cultural figure George Katsimbalis, the hero of Miller?s The Colossus of Maroussi. Illustrated with a rare photo of Durrell and of Henry Miller & George Katsimbalis. Limited to fifty copies signed by the publisher. Printed on Strathmore Pastelle 80# paper. Approximately 12.5 X 19 inches. Available by mail for $50 (plus $10.95 special packing and handling), check payable to Karl Orend. The simultaneous order of multiple copies to one address incurs only one mailing fee.

When Ana?s fled Paris in 1939, with war fast approaching, it was with tremendous sadness. She did not know if she would ever return. It was not until 1954 that she saw Paris again. This text recounts her anticipation of her trip and experiences in the City of Light, where she relived memories of the years she once shared with Henry Miller, visited her old haunts, and sought out friends old and new, such as Richard Wright, Ossip Zadkine, and George Whitman, proprietor of the Mistral Bookstore (later Shakespeare & Company). In beautifully evocative prose, Ana?s reflects on the changes in Paris and gives her impressions of the then new generation of resident writers, including the Beats, James Jones, Richard Wright and William Styron. Paris Revisited is followed by an extensive Afterword by leading historian of expatriate Paris, Karl Orend. This traces the story behind the scenes of her visit and reflects on her changing relationship with Henry Miller from the late 1930s to the 1950s. An account is given of the importance of Whitman?s bookstore to Ana?s, Henry Miller and Lawrence Durrell. An Album of nearly fifty rare photographs (several previously unpublished) of places and people mentioned in the text, or connected to Ana?s Nin, Lawrence Durrell and Henry Miller, supplements Paris Revisited. George Whitman, one of the legendary figures in Paris literary history, died in December 2011. This book also contains an epilogue pointing out his importance in literary Paris and an account of the days surrounding his death. Karl Orend worked with George Whitman for ten years, whilst simultaneously running Alyscamps Press, the most important expatriate publishing venture in Paris of the last fifty years. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Paris literary history. Paris Revisited is published for private distribution in Paris, in a limited edition of 150 copies, signed by the publisher. A limited number of copies are being made available for American libraries. Mail order copies can be obtained for $45 (post and packing $3.95). Checks are payable to Karl Orend and should be sent to: Karl Orend P.O.

I'll find out and report back to the list. "Elegy" was first published in 1947 in George Woodcock's /NOW/ (printed by Freedom Press/ no less). The poem is significantly different in that 1947 form. That journal issue and the preceding take up the censorship of Henry Miller.
