Robert Lax
Robert Lax (1915-2000) was editor for the Parisian literary journal New Story, a co-founder and editor of the Catholic culture magazine Jubilee, and the founder/publisher of the poetry broadside Pax.
Although Lax had published many poems in various magazines and journals it was not until he met the graphic artist Emil Antonucci in the 1950's that his publishing career began to take shape. Antonucci began to publish materials by Lax in small press editions under the imprint of the Hand Press and later Journeyman Books. Because of the visual nature of his poetry Lax came to be published more and more in small press editions by graphic artists.
A major retrospective of Lax materials was mounted at the Neue Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart in 1985. In 1987 Lax began an archive at St. Bonaventure University. Lax died on September 26, 2000.
