Herēma (2nd edition)
By Rose Higham-Stainton
44pgs
138x210mm
Saddle stitched
Two colour risograph printed cover
B&W laser printed inners
In this visual-textual essay, Agnes Martin, Beverly Buchanan, Nancy Holt, Agnes Denes, Rebecca Solnit, Sylvia Plath, Viviane Gornick and the anchoresses of East Anglia are brought together for their recall of early hermeticism, and the solitude of desert fathers in vast open spaces. From the act of pious contemplation to the act of painting and writing, these women breach time and space as a liminal and unified she.
Herēma is where we listen to the monolith creak.
Rose Higham-Stainton writes about art, literature and aesthetics, through feminist thought. Her writing is held in the Women’s Art Library at Goldsmiths College and has been published by PIN—UP Magazine, MAP Magazine, Ache, SPAM, Sticky Fingers Publishing in their Dead Lovers series, and in anthologies like Field Work: New Nature Writing from East Anglia. She has a Masters in Writing from Royal College of Art and her thesis project Three Graces, and Voids is distributed worldwide by Antenne Books. Revised extracts appear in Cusp: Feminist Writing on Bodies, Myth & Magic (published by Ache) and in the forthcoming issue of Parisian print magazine Skirt Chronicles.

Dead Lovers: Anais Nin
80pgs
130x197mm
Single colour risograph cover, with metallic sticker
B&W inner pages printed on recycled paper
Perfect bound (7mm spine)
This publication is the second volume in our Dead Lovers series, and focuses on the work of a deceased writer whose shifting positionality and proximity to her own work shows us how complicated love can be: Anaïs Nin. Through a series of close readings and crits, we have commissioned three new texts to write in, around, or through Nin’s short story The Labyrinth (1944). By positioning these texts alongside each other and putting them into the world, they enter a dialogue that oozes across the time and space which separates us from Nin.
These three texts all depart from The Labyrinth in a different way. They are not parts of a whole, but dreams disturbing the same night's sleep, with familiar echoes of meaning, affect, and symbolism radiating through them. Throughout this publication, a web of unresolved questions weaves itself. These texts trouble memory and desire, bolstered in equal parts by the materialisms and surrealisms of being in the world. Asking what it means to record, to come up against facets of experiential truth, the darknesses of desire, and the terror of words as worlds, these texts bring together voices through time to experience the everlasting stretch of the diary.
