LINGOS VI
By Ulf Stolterfoht
translated from German by Rosemarie Waldrop
Buffalo, New York: Cuneiform Press, 2007. Edition of 250.

21 x 14 cm; 20 pages. Set in Quadraat. Printed offset in two colors on Mohawk Ultrawhite Eggshell with Fabriano coverstock printed on a flatbed cylinder proof press from photopolymer plates.

Cuneiform Press: "Ulf Stolterfoht is clearly at the edge of the edge of innovative poetry in Germany today, and Cuneiform is pleased to bring Lingos VI (the poet's first book translated into English by Rosmarie Waldrop) into print. Stolterfoht's witty precision and philosophical punch are what linger in the mind’s inner ear while his terse and demanding lyrics reconfigure the limits of our language—the limits of our world.

"Ulf Stolterfoht was born 1963 in Stuttgart and now lives in Berlin with his wife and three children. He has published 3 books of poems, all called Fachsprachen [technical terms, jargons, lingos]: Fachsprachen I-IX (1998), Fachsprachen X-XVIII (2002), for which he received the Hans-Erich-Nossack-Förderpreis and the Christine Lavant-Preis respectively, and most recently Fachsprachen XIX-XXVII (2004), which received the Anna-Seghers-Prize in 2005. Rosmarie Waldrop’s translation of Lingos I-IX will be published by Burning Deck in fall 2007."

Two Wrongs
By y Ted Greenwald and Hal Saulson
Buffalo, New York: 2007. Paperback edition of 250.

7 x 10"; 60 pages. Typeset and designed by Kyle Schlesinger. Dimensions of the images true to the original works of art. Fonts (Palatino and Michelangelo) designed by Hermann Zapf. Gray metallic covers printed letterpress. Images and text printed offset. Handsewn in two signatures with the assistance of Michael Cross, Richard Owens, and Andrew Rippeon. Also available in two other formats: hardcover edition of 20 printed on pure cotton rag paper in full colour; and, deluxe hardcover edition of 10 housed in a slipcase with a small book handwritten by the author on the index cards that he uses to compose his poems.

Cuneiform Press: "In the work of Ted Greenwald, tradition is never more than an extension of innovation, history never more than an engagement with the present, the commonplace never more than an extension of the extraordinary.

"Building on New York's remarkable history of painter and poet collaborations, this striking art and text project features nearly thirty paintings and poems by two seasoned artists. Because his work always involves linguistic and formal invention, Ted Greenwald has often been associated with the Language Writers, but he is unmistakably a New York poet and even, given his street-wise sensibility and his long association with visual art and artists, a New York School poet."

Meditatio: the printer printed: manifesto
By Alan Loney
Introduction by Steve Clay of Granary Books
2004. Edition of 200.

22 x 14 cm, 50 pages. Printed offset and perfect bound.

Penny Griffith (poetry reviewer and editor): "Alan Loney — poet, writer and hand printer — is a fine communicator and a superb craftsman who has found fulfillment since moving to Australia from New Zealand in 2001. Fortunately, Alan has reconsidered his earlier decision to no longer create hand-printed works, and this thoughtful essay asks many questions about what is involved in being committed to the ‘old technology.' Meditatio is a graceful reconsideration of the role of typography in relation to art, the reader, and the world of the book and reading."

Of his poetry, Laura Sims, Contributing Editor Chicagopostmodernpoetry.com says: "Written in spare lines, it moves fluidly through the minutiae of the everyday world to question, 'quietly fight,' and attempt to map the self’s composition and place in the world. Dave’s joy in and attention to language are equally intense; the exactness of his phrases adds to the scope of his imaginative and emotional wanderings."
