Literary publishing

Just had a short phone chat with Andrew Hoyem, one of the treasures of literary San Francisco, a publisher, whose Auerhahn Press published my teenaged brother in the early 60s and who in 1974 founded Arion Press, which still exists today. He was contacted by the San Francisco Poetry Center, which was trying to track down my brother, and Andrew found my blog and called.

He designed and published a celebrated edition of Moby Dick some years ago. Anyway, he was relieved Bill is still alive and kicking since the Center's search was for "the estate" of Bill Deemer. Hmm. Maybe somebody owes him royalties.
