Moschatel Press

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moschatel Press is a small press publisher producing artist's books and poetry collections.[1] It was founded in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, in 1973, by the artist Laurie Clark and the Scottish poet Thomas A. Clark and is currently based in Pittenweem, Fife; "it is named after adoxa moschatellina, a plant known locally as Town Clock for its four-way green flower heads, with a fifth flower facing the sky."[2] Their main line is in "publishing minimal texts, visual poetry and the like in small neat booklets and postcards."[3]

They have published work by Ian Hamilton Finlay among other artists; although most of their output is their own work[4] which frequently consists of reflections on nature[5]
