Black Sun Press

Black Sun Press

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

Originally established by the Crosbys with the intention of publishing their own writings in small editions of finely-made, hard-bound volumes, the Black Sun Press evolved into one of the most important small presses in Paris in the 1920s. The Crosbys would publish a number of eminent 20th century authors, including D. H. Lawrence and James Joyce, both of whom were friends of Crosbys. Additional authors published by the Black Sun Press include Kay Boyle (her first book), Hart Crane (the true first edition of his landmark booklength poem "The Bridge" replete with three tipped-in photographs by Walker Evans), Ezra Pound, Archibald MacLeish, Ernest Hemingway, Eugene Jolas and Oscar Wilde.
