Black Sun Press (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Black Sun Press was an English language book publisher founded in 1927 as Editions Narcisse by poet Harry Crosby and his wife Caresse Crosby (nee Mary Phelps Jacob), American expatriates living in Paris. In April 1927 they named their press after their black whippet Narcisse, and they used the press as an avenue to publish their own poetry in small editions of finely-made, hard-bound volumes. They enjoyed the reception their initial work received, and decided to expand the press to serve other authors, renaming the company the Black Sun Press, following on Harry's obsession on the symbolism of the sun.
