LITERATURE and ART

TOP:

Handmade Ezra Pound (Ezruckus Poundamonium) paper doll for a series of skits in which E.P is the main star. --Theresa Williams

MIDDLE:

Automatic writing by Nancy Bell Scott.

BOTTOM:

One of a set of cards made while contemplating the poet Theodore Roethke. On November 12, Roethke suffered the first of what was to be many mental episodes. It happened in the cold Michigan woods, and he described the experience as having a "secret" revealed to him, which he said was the secret of "Nijinsky." Nijinsky was a famous ballet dancer who was institutionalized for schizophrenia. With your permission, I'd like to post your artwork at my blog: The Letter Project. I'm also looking for letters about literature and creativity. All works from the blog have gone through the postal system.

Comment by Christopher Skinner on March 5, 2015 at 7:57pm: Dear friends,

We would like to announce the publication of a limited edition chapbook of the asemic writings by the French author Raymond Queneau (1903 – 1976). Queaneau founded the Ouvroir de littérature potentielle (OuLiPo) in 1960 and published many highly stylised and unconventional works, some of which have been adapted for film. He also published work in pictogram form, to which the work in this book is most closely related.

This chapbook is being published by Secret Books, a new collaboration between Tim Gaze (AUS) and Christopher Skinner (UK). The books will be digitally printed on quality paper and card stocks, and individually bound in a numbered edition of 100.

Measuring 143 x 108mm the chapbook is double covered with 12 printed pages, consisting of 9 enhanced reproductions by Queneau along with new artwork by Gaze and Skinner, both inspired by the Queneau pages, and an ink portrait of the artist as a young man.

'Raymond Queneau - Ecritures' will be available to purchase worldwide through Big Cartel at just £5.00 plus P&P.
You can see images of the chapbook in production at www.secretbookpublishing.wordpress.com

We hope that you can support our new collaborative venture by either purchasing a copy of this limited edition chapbook of visual material from one of France's most respected writers. Or even by spreading the word; forwarding this email or the attached PDF to others who you think may be interested, or by linking to our site from your blog, Tumblr or Twitter accounts. Please feel free to use any of the images from our site.

Kind regards,

Chris
