DEATH AND

Poetry. Inside the Castle, 2023. Paperback, full color, 110 pages. 8"x 8" x 0.2857"

From NMB: A collection of poems that looks like no other. Prose reflections in light orange ink are fused to yellow pages like a watermark. Typed over the prose in black ink, poems act as both distillation and interruption. Woods makes full use of the mechanics of typing and typography to beautifully lyrical effects. The inventive form is at the same time highly readable, immersing us in a richly captured life. Death And is for anyone interested in formally adventurous poetry and book design—but it’s also for everyone, a living, breathing document that wakes its reader.

From the press: A visual poetic exploration of labor, sex, gender, identity, government, and resistance. Death is living. Approaching death through working toward death. The first book by Yarrow Yes Woods. 

"DEATH AND is Gertrude Stein performing noise music at the trans support group. It's coming out via file-corrupted error message. It's heartfelt and delightful and and and and and and and and and and and." --- Never Angeline Nørth, author of SEA-WITCH
