As a publisher, Myers’ press, Edition Muta, is releasing titles which represent the entire and unpublished life’s work of Sacramento poet, Douglas Blazek – responsible, in his influential and prolific early career from the 1960’s until the 1980’s, for ‘making poetry dangerous’. Muta recently published an LP of a previously undiscovered audio cassette recording of Wallace Berman, in conversation with collaborators, family and friends, at his home in Topanga Canyon, 1968.
