Details
The Plural Atmosphere is a 45 page limited edition, Risograph printed chapbook of selected poems by Stewart Lupton. Although Lupton is best known for being the singer and lyricist for seminal New York City band Jonathan Fire*Eater, his love for language was always evident in his songs and also the poems he increasingly wrote and turned toward during his life. In close collaboration with Lupton’s estate, friends, and former bandmates, Third Man Books is honored and humbled to be a part of realizing Lupton’s longtime wish to publish a collection of his poems. Being released at the same time as the reissue of the album Tremble Under Boom Lights by Jonathan Fire*Eater (Third Man Records), The Plural Atmosphere is a first collection of poems by Stewart Lupton, a collection that will undoubtedly define Lupton’s legacy as a poet with that already as a songwriter and musician.
