BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY
Robert Bringhurst was born October 16, 1946, in
the ghetto of South Central Los Angeles. He was
the only child of a migratory family, raised in
the mountain and desert country of Alberta,
Montana, Utah, Wyoming and British Columbia. He
spent ten years as an itinerant undergraduate,
studying physics, architecture and linguistics
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
philosophy and oriental languages at the
University of Utah, and comparative literature
at Indiana University, which gave him a BA in
1973. He had published two books of poems before
entering the writing program at the University
of British Columbia, which awarded him an MFA in
1975.
From 1977 to 1980 he taught writing and English
literature at UBC, and for some years after that
made his living as a typographer. He has also
been poet-in-residence and writer-in-residence
at several universities in North America and
Europe.
He has lived in Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, France,
Peru, Panama and Japan, as well as the UK, the
USA and Canada, and has published translations
from Arabic, Greek, French, Italian, Spanish,
Navajo and Haida. Since 1985, his linguistic
work has concentrated increasingly on Native
American languages, especially those of the
British Columbia coast.
Bringhurst is first and foremost a poet, but he
has published a substantial quantity of prose,
invading the domains of art history, typography,
linguistics, classical studies and literary
criticism, without the least sign of respect for
disciplinary boundaries. His book The
Elements of Typographic Style (2nd ed.,
1996) is now a standard text in its field. His Black
Canoe (2nd ed., 1992) is one of the classics
in the field of Native American art history, and
The Raven Steals the Light, which he
cowrote with Haida artist Bill Reid (reissued in
1996 with a new preface by Claude Lévi-Strauss)
is among the most popular books in Canada in the
field of Native Studies.
PREFACE
This bibliography was begun by Anne Hamilton
Tayler in 1983 and has been continued by several
hands since 1987. In its present form it lists
over 300 publications, nearly 200 studies and
reviews of Bringhurst's work by other hands, and
20 translations into other languages: a total of
well over 500 items. It includes books,
chapbooks, broadsides, contributions to
periodicals, edited works, published sound
recordings, films, and archival collections of
manuscripts and other material by Robert
Bringhurst. While we have done our best to list
reviews and other publications about Bringhurst,
and translations of his works, we are sure that
in these areas the bibliography is incomplete.
The following classes of publications are
excluded:
1 Early journalism. Bringhurst published a
number of articles in student newspapers during
the 1960s. He also published some thirty or more
reviews of theatre and dance performances,
mostly written on assignment for small dailies
and weeklies in the USA, during the period
197173. During the late 1960 and early 1970s
he also worked as a stringer for the weekly Time
magazine, contributing "files" which
were amalgamated with others by the editors to
create the published stories. The bibliography
ignores these writings.
2 Signed blurbs on book covers or in
advertisements for books by other authors. The
only items in this category which have been
included, because of their length, are B.1, B.45
and B.64.
3 Early sodalistic writing. During 198486,
when Bringhurst was actively involved with the
League of Canadian Poets and Writers' Union of
Canada, several pieces, not of obvious literary
interest, were published under his name in the
newsletters of these organizations. Copies are
included in the archive listed here as R.4, in
the National Library of Canada.
4 Books and other publications for which
Bringhurst served as unnamed series, house or
free-lance contract editor. (To the best of our
knowledge, no list of these publications has
ever been compiled. If one were made, it might
contain 25 or 30 books, published by a variety
of trade houses and small presses in Canada and
the USA between 1973 and 1992.)
5 Books and other publications designed by
Bringhurst but not written or compiled by him.
(There are perhaps a hundred of these, chiefly
from the period 197285. Some are identified by
a printed design credit, and some contain
colophons attributable to Bringhurst. Handlists
identifying these publications are included,
along with a nearly complete collection of
sample copies, in the archive R.4.)
In short, the bibliography lists primarily works
of literature and criticism: poetry,
translation, art history, literary criticism,
and other forms of literary prose. It includes
recordings, films and archival collections as
well as printed publications.
The first appearance of any individual poem or
other item is marked with a bullet (€). First
editions of separate publications are marked
with a double bullet (€€). Following every
listing of the first known appearance of an
item, all known reprintings and revisions are
listed. In the listing for each subsequent
appearance, the apparent source is given. Where
no parenthetical information follows the listing
of an item, this is its only known appearance in
print. Minor typographic variants are not
catalogued as revisions.
Dimensions of separate publications are given in
metric units, width followed by height. The ISBN
(international standard book number) is given
where known, but for separate publications only.
Page counts for separate publications give the
binder's measure (i.e., they include both
printed pages and blanks). Page counts in all
other cases include printed pages alone.
These are the symbols and abbreviations used:
€ first appearance of an individual poem or
other work
[€] first appearance of a substantive revision
€€ first edition of a book or chapbook
[€€] first printing of a subsequent edition
which the author has substantially revised

Review of Bergschrund (A.6). "The
disciplined imagination behind his images is as
precise as the disciplined light of a laser.
That imagination is informed by many traditions
(Semitic, Greek, Precolumbian) which it not only
absorbs but reiteratesŠ. Bergschrund is
not a book; it is a library."
S.8 William Meads. "The Holes in the
Stone." Kayak (Santa Cruz,
California) 44 (February 1977): 6065.
Review of Bergschrund (A.6). "The
extraordinary thing about Robert Bringhurst is
that he really knows how to see. And he takes
his seeing seriously: seeing is his way of
thinking, of knowing, of being. His images, even
the most daring ones, are never merely inventedŠ.
And he has absolute control of his rhythms,
particularly in the matter of defining the
lineŠ. Like Brecht, he writes a 'perfectly
natural' idiom which no one speaksŠ. There are
no gimmicks: everything is in a natural speech
rhythm. Yet its taste on the tongue seems
somehow distilled."

an acutely intelligent writer, his mind at once
austere and sensual. He reanimates fragments of
Greek, Chinese, Egyptian and Aztec thought so
that they illuminate our present, and he does so
in a style of utmost clarity and simplicityŠ. The
Beauty of the Weapons is a book to place
beside Eliot's Prufrock and Stevens's Harmonium."

"Bringhurst possesses an enormous appetite
for the history of ideas. That alone would make
him valuable. But his extraordinary ear and
exceptional attention to craft bring to his
poems a sense of living speech, of musically
alive speech, that is rareŠ. He combines
translation with imaginative writing as well as
anyone since Rexroth and DuncanŠ. There is a
depth of humanity in these poems, one that will
grow, one from which we all may learn. The
Beauty of the Weapons is a wonderful
introduction to one of the finest younger poets
in North America."

Discussion of several poets including
Bringhurst. In "The Beauty of the
Weapons Š one senses a writer whose
austerity hides a minefield of complex
passionsŠ. Bringhurst has something in him of
the physicist, philosopher, biologist, and
poetŠ. He reads and thinks widely, and his work
is the poetry of a passionate cultural
historianŠ. In some poets this burden of
reference might be oppressive; in Bringhurst
it's carried with both ease and conviction.
Bringhurst seems at home wherever he
travels."

Skelton, "may be the poet we have all been

dignity, wit, brilliance, and wisdom it has
recently appeared to have mislaid. He is without
doubt a major poet, not only in the context of
Canadian letters, but in that of all writing of

"These are, simply, the best versions of
Indian tales I have read: they are colloquial

boundaries, accumulating and then blending into
one another. The writers, like Raven, are
intelligent yet irreverentŠ. In such
collisions, we recognize that 'the purpose of
myths Š is not merely to relate experiences,
but to lead to significant changes in the
structure of things.' Bringhurst and Reid share
this passion in a truly extraordinary,
liberating collection."

TYPOGRAPHIC ANNOTATIONS
The alphabet or character
set displayed by most current software for the
PC and Macintosh is limited to Western European
characters. Additional characters required for
romanized Chinese, Japanese, Sanskrit, for many
Native American languages, and for the languages
of Eastern Europe can be displayed and printed
only if you have non-ethnocentric software
(e.g., WordPerfect or one of the new systems
based on the Unicode standard).
In its full form, this bibliography requires
some of those additional characters. For
delivery over the Web it has been pared down to
Western European characters only. If you have
the requisite software, you can replace the
simplified characters with their correct
counterparts. For example, in B.46, the letter l
in Gágiwdul.àt should be a barred l,
and in B.65, there should be an acute on the s
in Parsvanatha. A full list of character
substitutions follows.
A.30 macron on the O in O-karasu.
