Echoing Green Press in 2011 will explore possible ways of making its backlist available as ebooks (as with E-mail, e-mail and email, the spelling has rapidly evolved from E-books, to e-books, to ebooks), the new electronic medium of book publication that in future will parallel the printed book, and perhaps eventually largely replace it. Ebooks have developed through various formats and continue to evolve. They are already well established in the USA and will surely spread to South Africa in future.
In later 2012 will come Strandloop by Norman Morrissey. This major collection will be selected from the poet’s life’s work. Norman’s poetry is gaining ever greater recognition in South Africa. Readers who have been following his developing achievement can find out about his growing reputation at the clickable Reviews links at the entries for Dog Latin and Triptych at the PUBLISHED page on this website. Numbers of reviews of these two books can be accessed there.
The title Strandloop suggests an imagined walk by the author along the shoreline of his poetic creation. As he walks, so he sees individual poems, and clusters of poems, as if washed up out of the ocean of his life and vision. Though as he walks all the poems will catch his eye one by one, some more than others will absorb his attention, and it will be these he selects for this foremost gathering of his work.
