    Liveright Gets Excited About Poetry While Norton’s relaunched Liveright imprint under Bob Weil is mostly focused on nonfiction and edgy mainstream fiction, the imprint’s director of publicity Peter Miller is working to build excitement around poetry for the upcoming season. In June 2013, the relaunched Liveright will publish its first debut poet: Columbia MFA graduate Adam Fitzgerald, whose first book is calledThe Late Parade, a collection of 48 poems which Boston Review has said perform a “fire dance around meaning itself.” Liveright—which was founded in 1917 and was, from its beginnings, known for publishing important poets like Hart Crane, ee Cummings and T.S. Eliot—was acquired by Norton in 1974 and has been a repository for its storied backlist, having released no new books until Weil took over and published his first list in April 2012. Given its storied history in 20th century poetry, Miller says that while “most publishers don’t put a lot of money behind their poets, this is an opportunity to bring some attention to Liveright.”
