"Some Forms of Availability assembles speculative essays, reviews, interviews, and collected statements and texts by Simon Cutts, long-time publisher of Coracle Press."--BOOK JACKET.
For more than 35 years, Coracle has produced artists' books, critical works, editions and ephemera. 'Printed in Norfolk' tells the story of this key contemporary small press in all its manifestations as printer, publisher, bookshop and gallery.
The World Has Been Empty Since the Postcard reproduces fourteen postcards of a polemical nature by writer, artist, designer, and publisher of Coracle, Simon Cutts. The author's commentary on the context of the production of these ephemeral works and on the nature of their riposte, critique, and satire puts forward an episodic theory of the form and function of the postcard as a means of critical response
Poetry. "The book's power was to throw the reader's mind into relief with each reading. One looked and saw clearly; each moment being like the instant when a difficult problem suddenly resolves itself" -William Oxley.
"51 photographs of domestic, agricultural, and industrial paintwork, from County Wexford to County Donegal. Attempts to decorate steel, concrete, and stone, with paintwork rarely last, but produce curious anachronisms for a time. This book journeys through the hardy, patchworked, yet dishevelled nature of the Irish countryside, from home in Leitrim to friends in Wexford, Roscommon, and Mayo, via the boreens of Tipperary. Helen O'Leary and Paul Chidester have made these journeys, pointing their cameras at such edifices, giving much pleasure in their discovery."--Fishpond.com website.
Illustrated with over thirty-six colour reproductions, the essays and interviews in One For Me and Once To Share: Artists' Multiples and Editions addresses artists' multiples as a new means of reproduction, circulations, and reception.
Code X brings together a selection of personal histories of the current `transforming' and `expanding' of the book medium with the aim to challenge the very notion of what it could be(come) in today's complex information era. The design of Code--X within codex form represents a playful and daring twist of ink imitating pixel to render composition and design. The content is seen as a continuous scroll, cropped where screen meets paper edge. We celebrate both camps by highlighting dichotomies of edge to scroll, sequence to time and image to place.

The New Concrete is a long-overdue survey of the rise of concrete poetry in the digital age. The accessibility of digital text and image manipulation, modern print techniques and the rise of self-publishing have invigorated a movement that first emerged in an explosion of literary creativity during the 1950s and 1960s. This new volume is a highly illustrated overview of contemporary artists and poets working at the intersection of visual art and literature, producing some of the most engaging and challenging work in either medium. Edited by poets Victoria Bean and Chris McCabe, with an introductory essay by renowned poet Kenneth Goldsmith, The New Concrete is an indispensable introduction to...
