#### Overview N.H. Pritchard (Norman Henry Pritchard, 1939–1996) was an American poet known for his avant-garde and experimental poetry. He was a member of [[The Umbra Poets]], a collective of Black writers in Manhattan’s Lower East Side founded in 1962. Pritchard’s work often featured unconventional typography and spacing, creating visual and auditory experiences in his poetry. His notable collections include _The Matrix: Poems, 1960–1970_ and _Eecchhooeess_. He also contributed to various journals and anthologies during his career. #### 2025-01-26 I found this book near the exit of SKAT in Kameari. I’d been thinking about buying a book that could serve as a reference for kinetic typography, and this one was spot on. SKAT reminded me of [[Book Shelf | ARCANA]] in LA, but it felt like exploring a new layer of cultural strata. ARCANA, like a handmade library, is an art bookstore where I once stumbled upon a book about skateboarding—such a nostalgic, happy memory.
