Inspired by the lectures of Roland Barthes, Anne Carson, and Jorge Luis Borges, Appendix Project collects 11 talks and essays written in the course of the year following the publication of Book of Mutter. Zambreno's most original and dazzling thinking and writing to date.

Book of Mutter is a tender and disquieting meditation on the ability of writing, photography, and memory to embrace shadows while in the throes-and dead calm-of grief. Neither memoir, essay, nor poetry, it is an uncategorisable text that draws upon a repertoire of genres to write into and against silence.

A narrator and her dog are criss-crossing the Swiss Alps. She travels with friends who share her interest in food, languages and their topographical contexts. They collect colours, even look for colourlessness, and develop the idea of a walk-in diary, a vain attempt to archive their observations. Gradually, other mountains appear in their observations and memories, as do the mountains of literature and art. Mountains may be sites of fear and awe, of narrow-mindedness, racism and ever-looming collapse; Alpine lodges may be places of hospitality, retreat and unexpected encounters; of nature under threat. In 515 notes, Zsuzsanna Gahse unfolds a finely woven interplay between her six characters while giving us a vivid panorama of mountain worlds, a multi-layered typology of all things mountainish.

A facsimile edition of Derek Jarman's sole, early, extremely rare poetry book A Finger in the Fishes Mouth, originally published in 1972. Heavily illustrated from Jarman's collection of postcards, the book combines text and visual imagery in a way which foreshadows his subsequent style as an artist and filmmaker. With the majority of the first edition having been destroyed by Jarman, this makes available a missing, significant piece of his oeuvre.

Hasib Hourani's debut collection, rock flight, is a book-length poem that follows personal and historical narrative centered on the violent occupation of Palestine. Searing and fierce, tender and pleading, rock flight moves between poetry and prose, historical events and meditations on language to create a vital interactive reading experience.

I Will Pay to Make it Bigger is a novella and photobook by poet and visual artist Ahren Warner. Through text and image, the book searches for a way through a network of related subjects, ideas and feelings: the consumption of pleasure, freedom and hedonism; the purchase of feeling; the construction of (particularly male) identity as a cultural product, and the fragility of that construction; the fine, blurry lines between acquisition, enjoyment, love and desire, and the way any and all of these can be used to fill holes in our selves, even if only momentarily, and even if destructively. The book is also a work of both autofiction and docufiction. The photographs were produced during three months documenting 'party hostels' in Thailand. Yet, for all that these photographs might seem to exist as the documentation of 'moments', they are in fact quite painstakingly constructed: almost always beginning their lives as several still frames from film footage which have been composited and processed at length to reintroduce an artificial sense of movement, to become both a record of movement and hedonism, and a fictionalised artefact of impulse, drive and motion, that speaks directly, and on a level of materiality, to the concerns of the novella, whilst never illustrating, and only very rarely interacting directly, with the text itself.
