Ekleksographia: William Blake & The Naked Tea Party

Guest edited by Philip Davenport: “The issue features textworks that emphasise the touch – handwrit and haptic  - particularly pieces that consider emotional engagements, human space – that weird trace and corporate/military erasure of the handmade, the human touch, the not-digital. These qualities link into the alternative tradition of poetics – and to ‘outsider’ artists who are owed a debt by the experimenters (an IOU all the way back to Will Blake, he and the Mrs sitting on the lawn in London afternoons, naked, drinking tea)”.

Designed by Daniel Sendecki & Jonathan Penton and published online by Ahadada Books: “Ekleksographia is an independent international poetry magazine edited, produced and published by Jesse Glass and a revolving panel of editors. Ekleksographia is an exercise in asymmetrical publishing, and is a shoe (or even two!) thrown at the spotlit shrug and yawn.”

The issue launches on 15 March 2010 in conjuction with an online 24-hour ‘live’ online writing event by Sarah Sanders.
