Welcome to  the LNB website.  Here you will find
not only information about our publications
but also a calendar of news and events
that will alternate with an ongoing discussion
of the kinds of art and writing we admire.
 
Paradoxically, the words and pictures that appear
on the site’s electronically generated pages describe
three-dimensional objects made of paper and ink
you may purchase to read and hold in your hands.
 
Yet these seemingly abstract screen images
are not so unlike the content of our books:
Painting and the printed poem are also
products of the imagination, fashionings
of a lyrical universe on a two-dimensional plane.
 
And just as abstract painting is not the duplication
of an image but the recording of a perception, for us
poetry is not the verbal formulation of an idea or an emotion
so much as an attempt to recreate in language
the experience of thinking and feeling.
