The poems in this pamphlet sit between visions of a distant future, and the painful memories of battles—mourning lost friends, and reflecting on an opaque enemy. <i>The word "prohibition" may once have been a curse. The word may once have been culture, and since then a plural cell. It is now a parasitic organism. It is here in the system.</i> (from: About freeing yourself) 8.00 GBP https://ossaprints.bigcartel.com/product/cartesian-stand https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/425271978/cartesian-stand1.png https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/424737186/cartesian-stand3.png,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/424737189/cartesian-stand4.png,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/424737183/cartesian-stand2.jpg 119308263 new out of stock 119308113 VULNERABILITY HANGOVER VULNERABILITY HANGOVER by Anna Tokareva 13.5 x 6.5 cm Laser-printed concertina folded publication, iPhone SE cover, acetone “screen” cover, hand-made beaded phone charm. Edition of 15 2024 VULNERABILITY HANGOVER explores the navigation of adult friendship spanning oceans, mediated by digital tools. It was written in a series of fragments via the iPhone Notes app. The author started with a title related to friendship, then selected one of three words suggested by predictive text, building up a short paragraph word by word. The final short fiction recalls drunken messages left on read at 3am; self-consciously long voice notes; confessions made under the guise of intoxication. It’s also a nod to recent developments in AI generated text, while using its sub-par predecessor, predictive text — another layer of awkward blunder in emotional communication. 15.00 GBP https://ossaprints.bigcartel.com/product/vulnerability-hangover https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/424736457/vulnerability-hangover1.jpg https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/424736460/vulnerability-hangover2.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/424736463/vulnerability-hangover3.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/424736466/vulnerability-hangover4.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/424736469/vulnerability-hangover5.jpg 119308113 new out of stock 119193465 LES MOTS LES MOTS by various authors 21 x 29.7 cm Digitally printed + letterpress cover; hand-bound Variable edition 2024 Published by LiDO (Nicolás Meza and Tommaso Olivero). LES MOTS is the outcome of a participatory exhibition and event centred on collective text creation. Visitors were invited to engage with a “puddle” of words, shaping their own expressions by arranging them freely across white walls. Over the course of a single evening, more than fifty compositions emerged—ranging from the evocative to the surreal, the humorous to the obscure. Language became a truly tangible and shared material, continuously reinterpreted and reassembled in a living process of meaning-making. The edition is a snapshot of spontaneous creativity, collective authorship, and the relational potential of words when released from individual control.

It is a reflection on the fragile and balancing state of simmering. Here it is placed in relation to care, time, and noise, and in close dialogue with the concept of gradient. Cooking is pretty much absent, yet one can argue that the starting point exists and is unknown, like in many other circumstances. 5.00 GBP https://ossaprints.bigcartel.com/product/on-simmering https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/423986400/simmering-1.jpg https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/423986409/simmering-2.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/423986445/simmering-3.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/423986448/simmering-4.jpg 119079954 new in stock 118638312 AN ALTERNATIVE XANADU AN ALTERNATIVE XANADU by Tallulah Howarth 21.7 x 14 cm, 42 pages printed on recto Letterpress printed from polymer plates, with hand-set covers Edition of 200 plus proofs ISBN 978-1-9194922-0-9 2026 AN ALTERNATIVE XANADU is a poetic sequence documenting the chaotic, shifting organism of a shared house and its inhabitants. Xanadu Housing Co-operative was founded in Leeds in 2004; in their first pamphlet, Tallulah Howarth takes the reader inside the house, moving from room to room—pointing to what has been passed on, what is new, and what has not yet sedimented (and never has, or never will). The square footage of each room determines the word count of the corresponding poem. The result is a series of images of daily life, familiar and unique, as the boundaries between setting and foreground shift back and forth, and echoes and marginalia emerge across the page. An accompanying floor plan helps the reader avoid getting lost. 12.00 GBP https://ossaprints.bigcartel.com/product/an-alternative-xanadu https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/423986751/xan-front-2.jpg https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/423986118/xan-back-lr.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/423986124/xan-insert-lr.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/423986166/xan-kitchen-lr.jpg,https://assets.bigcartel.com/product_images/423986172/xan-pref-lr.jpg 118638312 new in stock
