For twenty-five years, GRAY ZEITZ has been printing beautiful books and broadsides at LARKSPUR PRESS in Owen county, Kentucky. He began Larkspur in 1974 by editing and designing poems by Richard Taylor, an effort that culminated in 1975 in the appearance of the first Larkspur Book, Bluegrass. Bluegrass set the collaborative style of Larkspur, an exciting participation of writers, artists, printers, bookbinders, and ultimately readers and collectors, who value significant works presented in an appealing, imaginative, and beautifully finished form. |

Gray Zeitz set out on his typographical adventure as an apprentice at the University of Kentucky's King Library Press. Working there with Carolyn Hammer, he learned the skills of fine hand work and typographic design. The King Library Press is pleased to join in celebrating the achievement of Gray Zeitz as a publisher, craftsman, and book artist.
