For over 40 years Wings Press has publishing works of poetry – fiction and non-fiction. As a small and remarkable independent publisher it has fought to bring diverse voices into the world. Bryce Milligan has been the man behind the press for most of those years. Milligan is an accomplished writer himself and has recently published his own book of poetry “Take to the Highway.”
Milligan’s work is being celebrated at Bihl Haus Arts Saturday from 2 to 4 with An Afternoon with Bryce Milligan – along with a retrospective exhibit of his book design work.
Born in Dallas, Texas, Bryce Milligan has lived in San Antonio since 1977. Among other things, he has been a folk singer, a maker of guitars, drums and dulcimers, a carpenter, a rare book bibliographer and appraiser, a college English and creative writing instructor, a poet-in-the-schools, an arts administrator, a book and magazine editor, a book designer, and a publisher. As a writer, he has been a newspaper columnist, a freelance journalist, a scholar, a novelist, a poet, a playwright, and an essayist. It has been an interesting life.
Milligan's literary papers are archived at the San Antonio Authors Collection of the University of Texas at San Antonio, Institute of Texan Cultures.
