A Discrete Sign on the Steinway

Jonathan Williams

A Discrete Sign on the Steinway

The Hermetic Press,

1986

Published as part of a portfolio titled Five Visual Poems, each designed and printed by Philip Gallo. This work was also one of Granary Books’ first publications, distributed separately from Gallo’s portfolio. That same year, Granary Books (as Origin Books) published another Williams’ work, “Noah Webster to Wee Lorine Niedecker,” and later, Aposiopeses in 1988. When Granary Books moved to New York City in the late 1980s, its gallery space exhibited works by The Jargon Society.
