Strange, isn’t it: We have more, much more to do than before Corona. We realized all books planned, even 3 additional titles. Everything has changed, all that has been learned in 27 years of publishing is totally new each day.—Are we prepared to the New?

Probably a poetry book, right? – it would be better to ask what happens, when a collage of texts, object measurements, commentaries and pictures of palm-sized objects meet?
The little pieces of furniture, partly handcrafted, mostly wooden, all have a patina, have tiny fractures, cracks, damages, obvious reparations. Besides their stories they also transfer words. Findings from scrap paper, newly assembled and glued on. Poetic commentaries, smuggled into a piece of furniture.
The whole project came together during the Corona pandemic and fuses language and playfulness into an object. The furniture catalog/poety collection seems retro but at the same time up to date.
In addition to the poem transcripts, it contains free-associated commentary that opens up an additional layer of meaning - it's touching and so timely that it should reach a wider audience.
