Self-Published Poetry Pamphlet From Calligrapher, Bookseller and Long Time Fishtown Artist Community Resident Steve Herold
Herold, Steve. Midsummer Moon. Steve Herold. Bellingham, WA. 1971.
A rare remnant from the collaborative period shared by poet and calligrapher Steve Herold and fellow Fishtown poet Paul Hansen, later a noted translator of Chinese Poetry, “this poem is a distilled, empty mind observation fueled by lots of weed”. On his chosen art form, Herold remarks, “Realizing I would have to spend my life on some aimless subject or other, I determined on calligraphy, which pleased my eye and seemed to straighten out my head as well”. In addition to their shared interest in calligraphy, both Hansen and Herold took to marking their work with Chinese ink seals, one of which (not featured here) became the official seal of Fishtown.
