In 1968, John Fuller established the (Sycamore Press ), which he ran from his garage.〔Roberts, Ryan, ''John Fuller and the Sycamore Press''. Oxford: Bodleian Library, 2010.〕 The Sycamore Press published some of the most influential and critically acclaimed poets of the latter half of the twentieth century, such as W. H. Auden, Philip Larkin and Peter Porter. In addition to these established authors, the Press sought to promote younger poets, many of whom have gone on to achieve great success. The Sycamore Press ceased operations in 1992, and is an excellent example of a British small press, publishing for motives other than profit. ''John Fuller and the Sycamore Press'' (Bodleian Library, 2010) includes an interview with John Fuller and personal reflections by Sycamore Press authors about Fuller, the press and the works it produced. The book also includes a bibliography of the pamphlets and broadsides Fuller produced. Fuller is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Fuller (poet)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
