Our books
In his debut chapbook, Nkosi Nkululeko finds unexpected harmony between chess and poetry. His square poems, which read both left to right and top to bottom, are breathtaking feats of ingenuity—yet despite their technical brilliance, they never lose sight of the poetry that matters most. You don’t need to be a chess player to find Corresponding Squares worth reading, reading, and reading again.
Coming April 28. Preorders open now!
A meditation on the eponymous Tarot card, Two of Pentacles is a book of ever-changing juxtapositions. Each printed copy of the book is uniquely generated and shuffled such that each two-page spread resembles a freshly drawn spread of cards. Its poetic "cards" draw unexpected connections between the legend of Narcissus, Tarot, botnets, the Bible, and language itself.
Two of Pentacles is the first in our series of “dynamic books” where each copy is uniquely generated and printed.
Written in the months leading up to and following the birth of the author's child, The Anxiety of Conception comes as a confession of humanity and heartfelt love. Living out the continual mixing and recombining of memories, the book changes with time; every copy represents a uniquely generated and printed tour through Gero's memories, and every copy made contributes to the further mixing of time to come. In this debut like no other, Gero invites us to join her in astonishment at the bizarre and profound phenomenon of life.
The Anxiety of Conception is the second in our series of “dynamic books” where each copy is uniquely generated and printed.
