Russell Edson’s debut collection of stories and poems, Ceremonies in Bachelor Space, was first published in November 1951 by the now defunct Black Mountain College in North Carolina. Ceremonies in Bachelor Space contains 31 odd, surreal poems and short stories by the then 21-year-old Edson that portend the style he would master in his critically-acclaimed prose poetry and novels later in his career. This new edition has been completely reformatted while preserving as much of the original edition’s innovative layout and typography as possible.
