Poet Jonathan Williams Speaks at Spencer
... poet-in-residence describes his own Jargon Press
Poet Prints Books
By DEANNE WATTS Kansan Staff Writer
Three key factors in the development and functioning of a small press are wild enthusiasm, a sense of artistry and friends, according to Jonathan Williams, at the University of Kansas.
Williams, who described his own Jargon Press as "a good old-fashioned anarchist American venture on a one-to-one basis," made the small audience Wednesday at Spencer Research Library.
To Williams, publishing poetry is "a matter of the pleasure one gets from reading it," he owns "it." He said he doubted that anyone would really do much on his own concerning literature and passion for reading as a child.
"Writing and publishing is essentially involved in friendship and communication," he said. All that is needed is the willingness to use necessary tools, he said.
Williams said he published about 150 copies of his own poetry when the Jargon Press was established in 1852. He said he knew about that many people to give them to. Now he maintains with friends and readers by writing about 23 to 30 letters weekly.
"It's hard enough to get the news from poems without all the nonsense of bad printing." He cites a study in the British typography to help convey the meaning of the poetry and to remove distractions from the reading.
Poems" by Charles Oison is on large paper because "you have to give it room to live," he said.
Williams will present a slide show emphasizing unusual architecture at 4 p.m. Thursday in 301 Marvin Hall. An exhibit of publications of the Jargon Press, including some of Williams' second floor of Spencer Research Library for the rest of this week.
Williams said he resented people who say that poetry books are too expensive. He said that people who care about poetry would manage to buy it, just as a teacher would manage about liquor manage to buy it.

The works which Williams publishes are somewhat expensive because of his special way of presenting them. "I always try to consider the needs of the particular text," he said.
For example Williams' publication of "The Maximus
Transcendental meditation "might be a kind of activity that will be particularly significant in the wake of this change," Maynard Shelly, professor of psychology. Sheath has been one of the most prolific meditation affects the lives of those who practice it because he learns what things that make people happy.
The group of meditators gave responses which were "internally valid," he said, in that they were not given enough information would make. He suggested that the reason the meditators were happier was that they had "more control over being relaxed" and that they could experience tension and fewer dissatisfactiones.
Transcendental meditation has been a method for allowing the mind to expand to subler levels of consciousness to reach the source of thought. Shelly said. This increase in awareness, he has caused an increase in an individual's capability for work.
Shelly said he had been studying the effects of tran- sitation because he was interested in society, in what makes people happy and in what will make them happy 25 or 30 years from now.
Preliminary analysis of Shelly's results has indicated that people who practice transformational leadership happier than those who don't, but he said, the subject needed much more study. He has conducted more experiments on transcendent information in order to test his results.
amms first experiment on transcendental meditation was conducted in two parts, one group camp in Maine last summer and the other here at KU. Members of two groups, which were comparable in respect to interests, ages and sex distribution, filled

"Transcendental meditation is amazingly efficient, though," he said, because it can be learned after a few years or be effective soon after it is learned.
