Summer time is over! And we’re back (although Phil is still travelling in the middle of France somewhere and Rich and I have been nearly full time on Coraline). Sometimes we at Arete will make smaller projects between the mammoth books like Frozen Hell, Brave New World, Lud-in-the-Mist and Death and Honey, projects like this slim book of personal poems by Neil Gaiman. This project was all about the words. Letterpress is great for poems, the beauty of the printing from metal type, we think, enhances the power of the words by the poet. And although the cost of producing books of poems like these can only really be done for love of the language, we think Neil’s work deserves such printing. This personal selection of poems was chosen by Neil and we think you’ll find them as powerful as we do. Coming as soon as Phil is back!
