THE PUDDING HOUSE COLLECTION
SPEC. CMS. 100

(Compiled by Sarah Hogue, 2002)

INTRODUCTION

The Pudding House (publisher and editor, Jennifer Bosveld) has been a remarkably successful small-press poetry publisher in Central Ohio since 1980. In that year Pudding Magazine began, and its publication continues to the present day. In 1982, Bosveld began publishing chapbooks, books, and anthologies: this activity has been increased year by year, with dozens of titles announced for 2001 alone. The poets come from all over the United States, and a few from other countries.

One of the characteristics of Bosveld’s editorial work has been the wide variety and inclusivity of styles and approaches she has embraced. From the wildly experimental, to mainstream small press styles, and to academic poetry; Pudding House has included them all.

The inclusivity is especially apparent in the Greatest Hits series. Begun in the year 2000, this is a project in which each invited poet chooses 12 of their most important poems and provides an introduction to them.

Pudding House thus provides a useful cross-section of poetries of the late 20th century and the early 21st. It is also distinguished by a consistent interest in what Bosveld calls “applied poetry”-which includes poetry therapy, poetry in education, poetry in the workplace, and, in Bosveld’s words, “poetry applied to the times of our lives”. Associated with this interest has been Pudding House’s on-going sponsoring of workshops, training programs, readings, residencies, and other activities emphasizing poetry as an important, and useful, component of how one lives and understands one’s life.

This collection is in large part a generous gift from Jennifer and Jim Bosveld and family, including Bosveld’s sons David Jeffrey DeRhodes and Christopher Daniel Groce and their children.

Titles are arranged alphabetically by author in two groups: Pudding House Publications, and Greatest Hits Collection. Boxes 8-10 were added in 2002.
