Description
William Wantling (1933–1974) was an American poet, novelist, and visual artist whose work captured the grit and intensity of mid-20th-century life. Known for his raw and unflinching honesty, Wantling’s poetry often reflected his turbulent personal experiences, including his time as a Marine, his struggles with heroin addiction, and his years in prison. His work is considered a significant contribution to the post-Beat literary movement.
Tangerine Press is dedicated to championing works by authors who often exist on the fringes of society, embracing misfits, mavericks, and misanthropes. Their catalog includes a diverse range of voices, from cult poets like Wantling and Billy Childish to Booker Prize winner James Kelman. The press also delves into unique projects, such as a new edition of Jack London’s The People of the Abyss, co-published with L-13 Light Industrial Workshop, featuring an introduction by Iain Sinclair.
