COPYS
By Craig Dworkin
‘My idea for these poems is that they be like cigarettes. On the one hand, briefly intense and repaying as much focused contemplation as you want to give them — each is in fact composed according to a rigorous and elided formal logic — but then also, at the very same time, merely discardable amusements: quickly read and easily forgotten, thrown away without a second thought as soon as they are finished.’ — Craig Dworkin
Originally published in the UK by Matchbox in May 2007, No press is proud to return this rarely-seen edition to print.
Published in a limited edition of 50 copies (25 of which are for sale) each copy consists of 34 loose cards in a hand-typed envelope.
Copies are available for $8.00 each (including postage).

Geof Huth has just released a limited edition broadside of 2 of my visual poems. “db” (as titled by Huth) is available for US$2 postpaid, most of which cost will be mailing costs (he’s also open to trades). More information on the work, and how to order, can be found here.
Jay Millar’s BOOKTHUG has just published my visual poem Prose of the Trans-Canada:
In 1913 Blaise Cendrars created his monumental Prose of the Trans-Siberian, a milestone in the history of artists books and visual poetry. When the intended edition of 150 copies was laid end-to-end they measured the same length as the height of the symbol of Parisian Modernity, the Eiffel Tower. Prose of the Trans-Canada responds to Cendrars’ legacy in a 16″ x 52″ visual poem. When all 150 copies of this limited edition are placed end-to-end, the resultant length is the same as the symbol of Calgarian Modernity, the Calgary Tower.
“A towering moment in beaulieu’s on-going exploration of letraset as a medium for concrete poetry, Prose of the Trans-Canada, issued as Moments Cafe No. 8, is published in a strictly limited edition of 150 copies printed on matte polypro film and available for order here.”
