Rambles in the Fields calendar — 2023

October 12, 2022 Shawn P. Wilbur

The local landscape is woven into the work that appears here. My daily walks through the parks near my home are an explicit part of the process in the “Rambles in the Fields of Anarchist Individualism,” but, in general, the out-of-doors is where the fine points tend to get worked out. Last year, I published a calendar of photographs taken in several local green spaces. This year, I limited things to a single park and focused on the cycle of gradual, but steady change that takes place through the year.

Along a Narrow Way — An E. Armand Calendar for 2022

October 29, 2021 Shawn P. Wilbur

I wanted—as a first step toward getting a more comprehensive selection of Armand’s writings into print—to draw together a selection of short, direct articles and poems that presented the tone of his egoist anarchist individualism, along with some of the key preoccupations and recurring tropes from his writings.

I’m in the process of uploading all of the Corvus Editions pamphlets of which I still have pdf copies. My goal is to make important texts available in imposed, printable form—and also to complete a few unfinished projects along the way.

Corvus Editions: The History of Mutualism

April 3, 2020 Shawn P. Wilbur

The History of Mutualism was among the series I was most excited about publishing, despite the fact that, in the years I was dragging them around to book fairs, enthusiasm for this sort of deep historical material was perhaps not sufficient to justify the weight in my luggage. But Corvus Editions was basically unintelligible as a purely commercial enterprise, particularly in the period when there were still plenty of bookfairs on the west coast. The point was often just to spread the most unlikely things out on the table as if they belonged there—in the hope that, at some point, some of them really would.
