5 1/2 x 8 1/2 in., 176 pp., smyth-sewn in wrappers. Dubbed "the Apollinaire of our times" by fellow poet and publisher Jonathan Williams, Simon Cutts, born in 1944, has tirelessly worked the fertile gaps between genres, issuing poems, prints, sculpture, artists' books and combinations of all of the above through Coracle, the imp…rint (and sometime gallery) he runs with book artist Erica Van Horn from their home in Southern Ireland. Through Coracle, Cutts has also championed artists such as Ian Hamilton Finlay, Anish Kapoor, Richard Tuttle and Trevor Winkfield, often long before their works found wider fame. Some Forms of Availability gathers speculative essays, interviews and other statements and texts by Cutts that address the legacy of the small presses and magazines of the 1960s, from which milieu Coracle arose, as well as more recent developments in artists' books. Some Forms of Availability is illustrated with thumbnail images and facsimile reproductions of Coracle books and ephemera, and includes a useful chapter on "polemical postcards." At ease in all printed idioms, and constructively indifferent to divisions between them, Cutts exploits the potential for humor and lightness of touch that is inherent in such idioms. This collection of his writings testifies to the clarity of his project. This is from an edition of 1000 copies in wrappers. As new.

Softcover. First Edition, First Printing. pp. 176. 8vo. Illustrated covers. Richly illustrated with many black-and-white, and colour photographs, portraits, illustrations, facsimiles, et al. Bright, clean, and unmarked; near fine. Assembles speculative essays, reviews, interviews, and collected statements and texts by Simon Cutt…s, longtime publisher of Coracle Press. Its concern is with the recent history of the book and the idea of publication arising from its occurrence in modernism, the small presses and the developing artists book. At the same time it introduces some fo the ephemera produced by Coracle over the years, the Polemical Postcards, and a facsimile case history of the distribution of one such understated work. These may all contribute to a new optimism for the availability of the small publication and for its sense of achievement within a finite means.
