I am delighted to have my three TextArt pieces posted with Ice Floe Press and its Geographies series today. With thanks to Robert and the press, and especially for this generous announcement.

You can see all three here: https://icefloepress.net/2024/01/19/geographies-of-breath-visual-poetry-by-mike-ferguson/

Delighted to be in Issue II of Needle Poetry, especially having received today the hard copy of this big and beautifully produced collection full of engaging text and visual (much in colour) work.

An extra pleasure is having the two of my generative poems included where the line ‘TextArtTransitions’ perform that process and encapsulate perfectly, for me, the found and worked-at essence of this approach.

For a short time you can view a free digital copy of the book here: needlepoetry.co.uk/store

My thanks to D. Parker

Would like to have written more to share, but this is what I was able to do.

Like many do, ‘review’ tweets are a guick but positive way to express liking and recommendastions, but these are harder to locate and link!

It has arrived

My contribution as a tease behind the booklet and its front cover.

ToCall magazine

is inspired by the last issue of Tlaloc, published in 1970 and edited by Cavan McCarthy.

Each issue features works by international authors, poets or artists focussed on a specific topic.

Following the tradition in Tlaloc magazine the cover is a one-word poem using tocall/tlaloc. 

Printed on Gestetner mimeographs in an edition of 100 copies.

Edited and designed by Petra Schulze-Wollgast (psw), published by Plaugolt SatzWechsler (psw).
