DJL stocks up on a few T.S. Eliot Prize shortlisted pretties (Jutland by Selima Hill, Deep Lane by Mark Doty, 40 Sonnets by Don Paterson, and Beauty/Beauty by Rebecca Perry) and throws in Andrew McMillan’s Physical for good measure. Sarah Howe’s Loop of Jade and Claudia Rankine’s Citizen: An American Lyric still in the post.
Anti-apartheid Activist, Bollywood Screenwriter, Nazi Pin-Up, Hero of the Wild West: This is Shakespeare as you have never seen him before.
Travelling across four continents, six countries and 400 years, Worlds Elsewhere sees author Andrew Dickson take us on a personal journey rich in insight and surprise. From the sixteenth-century Baltic to the American Revolution, from colonial India to the skyscrapers of modern-day Shanghai, Shakespeare’s plays appear at the most fascinating of times and in the most unexpected of places.
For the cover we commissioned Andy Bridge to take the iconic Shakespeare bust and illustrate him in different guises. Working with metal and paint, Andy created the cover image in 3D which was then photographed from the front and behind to create the finished jacket.
I am proud to present our 2015 Olive Editions! Once again designed by Monsieur Milan Bozic, these modern classics will go on sale September 29, 2015 for 10 buckaroos each.
Unless DJL is much mistaken, these are they wot contain the Tall Girl poems. Which probably shouldn’t be available for public consumption, but hey ho, they’re fine looking tomes.
If, furthermore, you happen to have found £100 in an even older pair of jeans, it’ll buy you a signed and very, very pretty Faber Members (pfffft) edition of Orhan Pamuk’s My Name Is Red.
Found £50 in an old pair of trousers? That’ll get you a trippy Faber Members (childish snort) edition of The Bell Jar complete with delicious endpapers.
More of my work is live on Tattered World! This is more stuff from the preview event, with books, food (”food?”) and toys inspired by famous artworks and various kinds of art! I loved the opportunity to play with a bunch of styles and go a little surreal here and there and am so curious what the rest of the world these items came from might be like!
Players can participate in an event during May 2021 in order to decide which new world we see next. So if this piques your curiosity, come visit the site to learn more!
‘For I Do Loath The Uneducated And Rejoice Over The Prophets And Artisans’
The lore and mythology that man constructs fancies His interest as it would the mind of any human, leading me to further believe in curiosity also being a gift, not only to mankind, but to a pleothra of creatures alike. I only hope the library I have accumulated will appease Him and His queer nature.
