Abstract In 1973, in the Gloucestershire town of Nailsworth, the poet Thomas A. Clark and the artist Laurie Clark established their own small publishing imprint, Moschatel Press. Despite early titles by, among others, Ian Hamilton Finlay and Cid Corman, Moschatel Press has, primarily, published the Clarks’ own work, much of which is collaborative. Using simple formats such as postcards, folding cards, pamphlets, and chapbooks, Moschatel Press publications have explored the indivisible relationship that exists between the printed format—its design and construction—and the expressive and material conditions of text and image. It is perhaps not surprising, therefore, that the press has been frequently associated with concrete and post-concrete poetry. However, prompted by the press’s Cotswolds provenance, this article extends this perspective by examining the ways in which the Arts and Crafts Movement’s close associations with the Cotswolds have shaped the Clarks’ publishing practices and poetics. In particular, it considers how the Clarks’ early Moschatel Press publications have evoked the Arts and Crafts Movement’s commitment to honest design, formal simplicity, and purity. It also addresses how the Clarks have synthesized and confused these key principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement with notions of making, construction, and sincerity that inform avant-garde notions of ‘constructivism’ in literature and visual art. In doing so, this article claims that the Clarks’ Moschatel Press encourages new ways of thinking about these seemingly antithetical milieus and their relevance in a long and enduring tradition of independent publishing, in which Moschatel Press itself remains a formative model and inspirational touchstone.

Moschatel Press：科茨沃尔德的工艺，混凝土和建构主义

摘要1973年，诗人托马斯·A·克拉克（Thomas A. Clark）和艺术家劳里·克拉克（Laurie Clark）在格洛斯特郡的纳尔斯沃思（Nailsworth）镇建立了自己的小型出版烙印，即Moschatel Press。尽管Ian Hamilton Finlay和Cid Corman等人曾发表过早期论文，但Moschatel Press最初还是出版了Clarks自己的作品，其中大部分是合作作品。Moschatel Press出版物使用明信片，折页卡，小册子和Chapbook等简单格式，探索了印刷格式（其设计和构造）与文本和图像的表现力和物质条件之间存在的不可分割的关系。因此，新闻界经常与具体的和具体的诗歌联系在一起就不足为奇了。但是，在媒体的科茨沃尔德血统中，本文通过考察工艺美术运动与科茨沃尔德的紧密联系来塑造克拉克斯的出版手法和诗学来扩展这种观点。特别是，它考虑了克拉克斯（Clarks）早期的莫沙特尔出版社（Moschatel Press）的出版物如何唤起了工艺美术运动对诚实设计，形式简单和纯正的承诺。它还论述了克拉克斯如何将工艺美术运动的这些关键原则与制造，构造和诚意等概念进行了综合和混淆，这些概念使前卫的文学和视觉艺术“建构主义”概念成为现实。在此过程中，本文声称Clarks的Moschatel Press鼓励采用新的方式来思考这些看似对立的环境以及它们与悠久而持久的独立出版传统的相关性，
