Contact seller5-star sellersmall 8vo. Bound by hand in handmade paste papers wrappers. 31, (1) pages. Limited to 326 copies, of which this is one of 300 numbered copies signed by the printer, Griffin Gonzales, Ruta Kuzmickas, and the printer (Jenn Laurence). A fine copy. Printed by hand on Crane Lettra paper, using a Vandercook Universal I cylinder press…at Letterpress PDX in Portland, Oregon. From the artists' website: No Reply Press is excited to announce Per Se Phone, an illustrated collection of poems by Ruta Kuzmickas. This first edition features eleven poems and five pen-and-ink illustrations which lend themselves beautifully to letterpress. Rutas poetry is electric. It eschews clunky and clichéd phrasing for a lyrical sensibility, without ever resting into simple or tired rhyme structures. While thoroughly original, there are flashes (and collectors of No Reply will recognize this to be a supreme compliment) of T. S. Eliot. One such moment: this is a place where I cannot be reached. this is a place where evening descends like sheets of tracing paper, details buried underneath, blurred by frosted sleep. The poetry is intricately woven, and without fat. Language reduced to its core elements. They are the literary analogue to the pen-and-ink illustrations which accompany them. These are explained by Kuzmickas: "As a self-taught visual artist, the simmering point in terms of developing a visual language came when I first gave up on the idea of drawing something accurately, allowing my hand to flow in a more natural, unpredictable rhythm. I had fallen in love with the topography of Rodin sculpture, and so I made ink recreations as a challenge to myself: can I make a topographical map of a sculpture with black ink? A photograph? I then took to drawing as though I were sculpting wire or thread, tangling everything together but seeking clarity amid the knots. This led me to making faces out of single pieces of wire in order to feel what the pen was feeling, as many of my drawings tend to be layered masses of bent, unbroken lines. I obsessively draw faces and figures, and have only recently begun to incorporate watercolor, and bright red circular hearts." Artist's Notes: Ruta Kuzmickas is a visual artist, pianist, poet, photographer, and interdisciplinary collaborator. Although she has played the piano since age six and has earned two degrees in piano performance from Rice University, her heart lies in crossovers of images, words, movement, and music. She frequently collaborates with composers, musicians, and artists. Her first book of poetry, Flash Flood Fiction, was published in 2020. Ruta lives in Portland, Oregon. Bound by hand in handmade paste papers wrappers. No Reply Press (illustrator).

Wrappers. Condition: NEW. Dust Jacket Condition: no dj's as issued. Edition limited to 400. No Reply Press, 2023 BY TONI MORRISON, WITH WOODBLOCKS BY ELIZABETH CATLETT At the pinnacle of world literature, in her lecture upon receiving the Nobel Prize, Toni Morrison used her platform to urge care with words. "Language," she said,… "is susceptible to death, erasure; certainly imperiled and salvageable only by an effort of the will." Language is not fixed, but precious and delicate like a bird in your hands. With its elegiac prose and interweaving of narrative and polemic, Morrison's meditation is worth continual close reading. To celebrate its thirtieth anniversary, and with special permission from the Nobel Prize Committee, we have printed her lecture alongside the gripping woodblocks of Elizabeth Catlett. The edition is limited to 400 copies, numbered 1 through 400. The twenty-third imprint of No Reply Press, 2023. Typeset in 11-point Centuar. 20 pages, Measuring 6 by 9 inches. Printed by hand on Cotton Flurry using a Vandercook Universal I. Bound in Suminagashi-style wrappers. Elizabeth Catlett (illustrator).

Chapbook in wrappers. Condition: NEW. Dust Jacket Condition: no dj as issued. Edition limited to 150. No Reply Press, The Story of an Hour, 2024 BY KATE CHOPIN An early exemplar of feminist literature, The Story of an Hour follows Mrs. Mallard as she learns of her husband's death in a freak accident. Grief quickly turns to a gui…lty exhilaration as she realizes that - her duties as a wife having been fulfilled and finished - the remainder of her days will be hers, and hers alone. Secluded in her room she whispers to herself, "Free, free, free!" Alas - tragedy (or triumph?) only turns to further tragedy. Kate Chopin was a maestro of short fiction. Her writing, though now well over a century old, is bitingly relevant today. This is the first in what will become a series of unnumbered chapbooks. While the Press' capacity for grander editions has expanded, our love of smaller format bookmaking remains steadfast. Some great literature simply confines itself to a few hundred words. That, in our view, should not be grounds for exclusion from private presswork. The edition is limited to 150 unnumbered copies. Typeset in 11-point Weiss. Measuring 5 by 7 inches. Printed by hand on Hahnemühle Biblio using a Vandercook Universal I. Sewn into hand-painted wrappers, made specially for the edition.

In 1805 he met with New England preacher Jacob Cram, who asked that he evangelize to his people, saying, "There is but one religion, and but one way to serve God, and if you do not embrace the right way, you cannot be happy hereafter." Sagoyewatha disagreed, brilliantly. His reply is a masterpiece of rhetoric, and an important reminder that our modern principles of tolerance and multiculturalism have deep roots in native American cultures.Each copy includes a tipped-in portrait of Sagoyewatha, sketched by Claire, cut by Griffin, and printed directly from the block onto handmade Kitakata paper."COLOPHONâ¢âA chapbook from No Reply, 2â0â2â4â.â¢âLimited to 120â0 copies.â¢âMeasuring 6 by 9 inches and 8 pages.â¢âPrinted letterpress on a hand-operated Vandercook Universal I proofing press.â¢âSchutpapier Simili Japon text papers.â¢âLinocut portrait, printed directly from the block onto Awagami Kitakata paper.â¢âSewn into handmade Papeterie Saintâ-âArmand wrappers.

Il campionato americano di basket è spesso nominato come esempio da cui prendere spunto, ma sui parquet più famosi del mondo non sempre è stato tutto luccicante.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: like new. by Leo Tolstoy, illustrated and translation by Valeria Zecchini Chance, chance, nothing but chance. Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy, titan of nineteenth century literature, gave another titan, Napoleon Bonaparte, little credit for his doings. His victories in battle, his political domination, his conques…ts all due to chance. Tolstoy's opinion of "the great man" is not in doubt. His remarks toward the end of War and Peace are scathing. The novel follows several Russian families through the Napoleonic wars, but Tolstoy himself, it sometimes seems, is following Napoleon. The curtain is finally pulled down altogether in the First and Second Epilogues. Tolstoy addresses his reader, and makes his case against Napoleon, but really, against the Great Man Theory. Whether Tolstoy's assessment can be considered good history, it must be considered a masterpiece of political writing. In a few pages, Tolstoy threads a brilliant case against conquerors, opportunists, tyrants and, most of all, so-called great men. The brilliance of his thought matches the sharpness of his prose, and though Napoleon may have conquered Europe, it could be Tolstoy who has the final word. No Reply is especially excited to publish this edition in the original Russian, using the Cyrillic script, alongside a new English translation, and original illustrations. ARTIST NOTES Leo Tolstoy needs no introduction. He was the author of Anna Karenina and War and Peace, which vie neck-in-neck on many critics' lists for the greatest novel ever written. He is under-appreciated, however, as a historian and critic. This short passage, from the epilogue of War and Peace, highlights Tolstoy's multifaceted genius. Valeria Zecchini is a Russo-Italian artist, polyglot, and scholar of European politics. She brings a new translation to these overlooked passages, which aims to elucidate Tolstoy's meaning to English readers. The original Russian is dense and circuitous, and from it Zecchini has produced crystalline English prose as dense and brilliant as the original, but clear too. Her translation is complimented (with a touch of irony) by six woodblock portraits of "the great man" himself. LIKE NEW, Ships from Hawaii with free Priority Mail upgrade.

Science fiction of the absurd? Psychedelica? Metaphysical horror?

Adler is undoubtedly the greatest female lead in the Holmes canon, and perhaps the person Sherlock himself admires most. As excited as we are about the re-telling of this story, we are doubly excited about Ruta Kuzmickas' original artwork. She has created a suite of pen-and-ink illustrations over a dozen in total which capture the story perfectly. Her arresting portrait of Irene on our cover is just the beginning.

Contact seller5-star sellersmall 4to. Bound by hand in handmade papers wrappers. 15, (1) pages. The Harvard Class Day Address. With Woodblocks by Michael McCurdy. Limited to 218 numbered copies and is the eighth imprint of No Reply Press. A fine copy. Printed by hand on Zerkall-bütten on a Vandercook Universal I. From the artists' website: No Reply Press…is excited to announce Above All Else Do Not Lie by novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Delivered originally as a commencement address at Harvard University, her words are here rendered into an essay and published in print for the first time. An elegy for what we have lost, and a philippic for what must be preserved, Adichies address is both soaring and specific. Her counsel is poignant and memorable. As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "In every work of genius we recognize majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility when the whole cry of voices is on the other side." In our estimation, Above All Else Do Not Lie is such a work. Adichies words inspire us to do what we know to be right. They serve both as a simple reminder of what is true and as a radical reframing of the world. On truth, she urges vigilant fidelity: I have always felt my best, and done my best, when I veer toward truth, when I dont lie. And the biggest regrets of my life are those times when I did not have the courage to embrace truth. Now, telling the truth does not mean that everything will work out. Actually, it sometimes doesnt. Im not asking you to tell the truth because it will always work out, but because you will sleep well at night. And there is nothing more beautiful than to wake up every day holding in your hand the full measure of your integrity. Be courageous enough to recognize those things which get in the way of telling the truth - the empty cleverness, the morally bankrupt irony, the desire to please, the deliberate obfuscation, the tendency to confuse cynicism for sophistication. In these disorienting times, where the difference between up and down is blurred, let alone between right and wrong, she offers an inspired remedy. Whether you are a leader, or whether you are the led, I urge you always to bend toward truth, to err on the side of truth. And to help you do this - Make literature your religion. Which is to say, read widely. Read fiction, and poetry, and narrative nonfiction. Make the human story the center of your understanding of the world. Think of people as people, not as abstractions who have to conform to bloodless logic, but as people - fragile, imperfect, with prides that can be wounded, and hearts that can be touched. Literature is my religion. I have learned from literature that we humans are flawed - all of us are flawed. But even while flawed we are capable of enduring goodness. We do not need first to be perfect, before we can do what is right and is just. We are inspired by Adichies faith in the power of literature to play a leading role in our perennial rediscovery of human goodness. Her words proved such an inspiration to us, in fact, that No Reply Press was founded in large part as a venture to bring them to print. They have been our north star as we have navigated the question of what to publish and why. Make literature your religion. We have adopted her words as our mission, and have striven to contribute to the written canon of human struggles and triumphs. This text is accompanied by six large illustrations by legendary woodblock artist Michael McCurdy. The address was given at Harvard Universitys historic Yard - a cow pasture which over centuries came to be at the very heart of American politics and intellectualism. Adichies immediate predecessors included President Biden, Mark Zuckerberg, and J.K. Rowling. From the exact same spot, the Marshall Plan was announced. Context is everything, and Adichies address, though universal in its message, was not given in a vacuum. Therefore, her w. No Reply Press (illustrator).

Paperbound. Condition: NEW. Dust Jacket Condition: NEW. Ltd Edition of 300. No Reply is pleased to publish the first edition of Magnetic Storms. Twenty-three poems presented in both Ukrainian and English, with the poet's introduction. -- The edition is limited to 300 copies and is offered in two states. This is a paperbound edit…ion with the no. 259. Hand-bound in stiff fourfold Bugra paper wrappers. 68 pages, printed throughout in two colors. Typeset in Anglecia and Stereonic faces, designed by Andriy Konstantynov and Oleh Lishchuk at Mint Type Foundry in Kiev, Ukraine Printed letterpress by hand on Hahnemühle Bugra using a Vandercook Universal I proof press. Book measures 7 ¾ by 10 ¾ inches. The fifteenth imprint of No Reply Press, Spring 2023. For years Diadchenko has been among the foremost Ukrainian writers and an advocate for the Ukrainian language on the world stage. While her manuscript was dazzling, with No Reply Press' publishing agenda already full, we did not plan to publish Magnetic Storms in 2023. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has changed that. Like many watching events unfold, we are left wondering, "What can we do?" Any individual action can feel vanishingly insignificant, like tossing a pebble into a river to stop its flow. Eventually, however, the pebbles can pile up. So, we must do something, however small. The role of a publisher in the internet age is not to circulate information, but to help curate what circulates and shape "the canon." While Russian literature is widely celebrated in the West, and deservingly so, Ukrainian literature has often been overlooked, or worse, subsumed as Russian literature. For those who have never experienced the power of the Ukrainian language, watch this performance from when the great Ukrainian band DakhaBrakha visited us in the Pacific Northwest several years ago. The vitality that DakhaBrakha brings to music, Lyudmyla Diadchenko brings to written poetry. The title, Magnetic Storms, captures the energy of these poems. They are riveting, vivid, electric even in translation. They have been masterfully translated by American poet Padma Thornlyre, with the assistance of Ukrainian writers Viacheslav Stelmakh and Dmitrou Teplouhov. The translation has been handled delicately, for those unable to read the original. We are sure that all readers will appreciate the power of Diadchenko's poetry. EDITION NOTES The edition is limited to 300 copies and is offered in two states. Twenty-three poems presented in both Ukrainian and English, with the poet's introduction.

From the artists' website: The Men Return is sui generis - nearly impossible to define. Science fiction of the absurd? Psychedelica? Metaphysical horror? Existentialist monograph. with monsters? When Jack Vance wrote The Men Return in 1957, science fiction had not yet delved into the truly experimental. While it had toyed with time, space, spaceships and timetravel, the laws of reality remained firmly unbroken. Vance pushed the envelope - and far. The Men Return tells the story of a place where the connection between cause and effect has been severed. Imagine that! Vance did, and in his wild imaginations a novel form of fiction was born. Karol Pomykala is a celebrated linocut artist, whose pieces, collectively entitled "Mirage," are an exhilarating match for Vance's up-is-down storytelling. Painstakingly cut by hand, Karol's artwork is intricately detailed. The depth of such detail can really only be captured with relief printing, so we are thrilled to present his work letterpress. The edition features five such linocuts. On hardbound copies, the artwork is overprinted with striking splashes of color as shapes float through and among a disorienting terrain. John Vance is the author's son, who has generously penned an introduction for the first private press edition of his father's work. He contextualizes the story in the history of science fiction, and provides a summary judgement on its importance. The Men Return is the third in No Reply's Science Fiction Trilogy, three editions showcasing three of the genre's greatest short stories: 1) The Last Question by Isaac Asimov, with the woodcuts of Rockwell Kent 2) The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin, with collages by Clive Knights 3) The Men Return by Jack Vance, introduced by the author's son and with linocuts by Karol Pomykala These three stories pushed the frontiers of the genre. They strikingly demonstrate that Science Fiction is not actually the realm of spaceships and aliens, so much as the realm of metaphysics and our place in the universe. No Reply is proud to present them together, alongside an extraordinary cast of contributors. Hand-bound in a German-style binding; mirror foil tooling over a Japanese cloth spine, lucite slipcase.

Contact seller5-star selleroblong 8vo. Japanese stab style, hand-made Fabriano Tiziano chemise. 40 pages. Tanka by C. Mikal Oness : Drawings by Gary Young. Privately printed in an edition of 88 numbered copies signed by Chad Oness and the illustrator, Gary Young. A fine copy in fine paper folding case. Printed with Bembo types on Japanese Iyo Glazed washi… paper using a Vandercook 4 proof press and hand-bound with the assistance of Claire McArthur. Each copy includes a proof print on Mohawk superfine, tucked away in a "secret compartment". It is the 32nd imprint of the Press. The writings of some of these poems had the support of grants from the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council. There are six drawings by Gary Young printed from magnesium plates. From the artist's website: "Great literature should be a portal. Read, and find yourself in another place, another milieu, with other concerns and aspirations. This collection transports us to the hermitage, Chads home, in a time of flux and timelessness, a time of new ambitions and aging, with chores to do and great art to make. What a joy it is to have read this "private literature" and to share it now with just a small circle. This is the rare collection with the capacity to imbue the "ho hum" of life with poignancy, hilarity, frustration - in short - with meaning. The tanka, or "short poem," is a Japanese form which follows a simple 5-7-5-7-7 syllable scheme. It is tricky and inviting in equal measure, often coming to a point which demands that the reader return to the beginning. Like flash fiction, it is defined as much by the space around the work as by the work itself. This constellation of eighty-eight tanka pulls off a marvelous feat in giving the reader such a full understanding of a time and place in so few words. The poems are manually printed on handmade Japanese papers, in the very setting they describe, and have been bound in the most famous of Japanese styles. Our twist to this timeless form is a stiff chemise (with a hidden compartment!) perfect for shelving and protecting its precious cargo from the elements. Chad, after all, keeps his own fine press collection on his sailboat." Japanese stab style, hand-made Fabriano Tiziano chemise. No Reply Press (illustrator).

The Press got its start with an edition of Poe's The Masque of the Red Death, funded only a month before the Coronavirus pandemic began in earnest. Eerie timing. Two years later, the Press announced an edition of The Cask of Amontillado. Now, to complete a trilogy of sorts, we are happy to share with you our edition of The Tell-Tale Heart! Poe is the quintessential American author. As one scholar put it, "Whether or not America has produced a greater genius than Poe, it would be hard to prove that it has produced one more original." In The Tell-Tale Heart, he presents once again a story of captivating simplicity of a man driven mad by an obsession, of guiltless admission. It is perhaps Poe's most famous story because it is so disorienting. The No Reply edition has been designed as a reaction to the story. We have employed colors, tones, textures, and an artistic vision to make Poe's writing visceral for the reader. Exceptionally fine papers from Papeterie St.-Armand, Velke Losiny, and master marbler Claire Guillot should mark this edition for distinction. Few artists are as suited to illustrate Poe as R?ta Kuzmickas. Her signature style blends the real with the unreal. With six full-page pen-and-ink artworks (as well as two large ornaments and a calligraphed title), reproduced with a crisp letterpress bite, Poe's story comes to life. The sinews of the heart, the film over the eye, the folds of guilt and paranoia all come together in a stylistic tour de force. In our estimation, Kuzmickas is an illustrator second to none because she not only illustrates a story but reveals its heart. R?ta Kuzmickas (illustrator).
