Black Sun Press

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Black Sun Press was an English language book publisher founded in 1927 as Éditions Narcisse by poet Harry Crosby and his wife Mary Phelps Jacob, who at the time were expatriates living in Paris. The name was changed to Black Sun Press the following year.

It was originally formed to publish the works of its founders in lavish, hard-bound volumes. It expanded to publish a number of eminent 20th century authors, including D. H. Lawrence and James Joyce, who were friends of Crosby. It also published works by Kay Boyle, Hart Crane, Ezra Pound, Archibald MacLeish, Ernest Hemingway, Eugene Jolas and Oscar Wilde.
