One is by yours truly, Your Obituary Is Waiting. It’s a collection of “deformed sonnets,” with German translations by Gregor Pott and “flypaper collages” by Norman Ogue Mustill as counterpoint. The book design by Robert Schalinski, the paper, and the print quality are to die for, no pun.
The other is The Return by William Cody Maher, also bilingual, with German translations by Walter Hartmann and photos by Signe Mähler, designed by Ralph Gabriel. And again the quality of the production, the artifact itself, is stunning.
Furthermore, in a joint production, Moloko and Sea Urchin Editions have released The Ex-Terr Poems by Ed Sanders with his drawings, in an English-only edition designed by Anneke Auer. I haven’t seen the book itself but I would bet the quality of the artifact matches the others.
