Lorne Bair Rare Books
Modern & Contemporary Poetry
Featured Items & New Arrivals
  We stock a strong selection of modern and contemporary English-language poetry, including many hard-to-find small press titles. Of particular interest are the various American avant-garde poetry movements of the post-WWII period: the Beats, the Black Mountain Poets, the New York School, and the assorted urban counterculture poetry movements of the 60s and 70s.

Our on-line catalogue represents only a small portion of our overall inventory. If you are searching for a particular title or are seeking information on an author, please feel free to contact us. We know this material well, and for those questions we can't answer casually we keep a good collection of author bibliographies on-hand.
