A Hauntological Investigation of the Works of Thomas Meyer: Sun Nailed to Water is a bibliographical study that draws critical and literary-historical attention to the works of the poet Thomas Meyer, situating his writing within postwar ("New American") queer and avant-garde contexts. The book investigates various personal and poetic communities, including Meyer's connections to first- and second-generation "New American" poets; the intertwining of his literary, publishing, and personal relationship with Jonathan Williams; his literary apprenticeships and occasional breaks with senior postwar poets; and Meyer's engagements with and idiosyncratic development of poetic techniques, such as channelling/mediumship, translation, and the use of personae.
Martrich's investigation unfolds through a theoretical engagement with hauntology, addressing and redressing gaps, absences, and "specters" (including those of Jack Spicer, Sappho, and Strato) in both Meyer's work and its literary-critical reception. The study concludes with an annotated bibliographical checklist of Meyer's books from 1971 to 2025, and includes a preface by Peter O'Leary and a coda by Erica Van Horn.
Andy Martrich is a poet, archivist, and independent scholar originally from the US, who has been living abroad for the past decade. Andy is the author of over ten books of prose and poetry, most recently Shy of the Squirrel s Foot: A Peripheral History of the Jargon Society as Told Through Its Missing Books (2024). He is also a co-founder of Hiding Press, a small press dedicated to publishing neglected strains of poetry. His writing has been taught at Columbia University, New Jersey City University, and San Diego State University.
