Excited + lucky to announce that, next Spring, we’ll be publishing the second book from one of our favourite poets/writers/humans, Peter Scalpello 🩡🩡🩡We published Peter’s debut collection, Limbic in 2022 and it was such an honour to see the incredible response to their work. Mirrorstage is another phenomenal, important book - a hybrid prose-poetry journey through recovery and psychology that’s at once heartbreaking, sexy, witty, and beguilingly insightful. Out in March 2026!! @pscalpello

New book with the icons @cipherpress.bsky.social coming next year!!

The Gender of Sound by Anne Carson Human history is filled with unacceptable sounds: high-pitched voices, gossip, talkativeness, hysteria, wailing and ritual shouts. Who makes them? Those deviant from or deficient in the masculine idea...

The Gender of Sound by Anne Carson

'Putting a door on the female mouth has been an important project of patriarchal culture from antiquity to the present day. Its chief tactic is an ideological association of female sound with monstrosity, disorder and death.'

A slide with text reading "Announcing the 2025 Dorothies . . ." and then two book covers. On the left the cover for Lana Lin's The Autobiography of H. Lan Thao Lam, which is orange on top with a black and white photograph of Lana Lin and her partner H. Lan Thao Lam in their home. The cover is an overt homage to the 1933 cover of Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, which featured a photograph of Stein and Toklas taken by Man Ray. On the left is the cover for The Endless Week by Laura Vazquez (translated by Alex Niemi). The cover features a work by the French artist Pierette Bloch that looks something like a sea of small black clouds floating on a cream-colored background, and, below this, the title and author and translator names in black text on white.

Blue was the very first film screening I ever organised, as a fundraiser, on World AIDS Day. I was 19. Programming started as activism & awareness for me, and it still is, including democratising programming & curation itself!
