Glenn Goluska (1947–2011) was a Canadian book designer and typographer. He was born on June 26, 1947, in Chicago[1] and came to Canada as a student at the University of Toronto. After graduating, he worked in the United States for a few years. He was employed by the Northwestern University Library where he obtained a Poco Proof press and various typefaces. This was the first set of printing supplies Goluska had obtained and provided him with the means to begin printing.[2] While working his press, Goluska would come across works by the Coach House Press. Goluska took interest in the publishings and would eventually be offered a job by the creator of the Coach House Press, Stan Bevington. Goluska accepted a job offer and moved to Canada to work with Coach House Press for a few years.[2] He left Coach House Press to focus on letterpress printing: his imprints were Imprimerie Dromadaire and Nightshade Press.[3][4]
Goluska was awarded the Robert R. Reid Award for lifetime achievement or extraordinary contributions to the book arts in Canada by the Alcuin Society in 2011. Goluska had a typeface designed in his honour by Nova Scotia type designer Rod MacDonald.[5]
Several works are attributed to Goluska in the six years he worked at Coach House including: Journal by BpNichol, Sad Phoenician by Robert Kroetsch, Left Hemisphere by Paul Dutton, Right Ear, and Artemis Hates Romance by Sharon Thesen.[2]
