publishing affaires
an outpost for the real.
for courage.
we dig courage.
Before hyperreality, things that were not real looked artificial. They were fascinating, real copies of something, a monster atop a skyscraper, a belly-birth alien.
So now, when fake seems to replace the real and who we are is becoming more and more some careful curation influenced by all the trends around,
we’re rebelling.
Courage is not not being afraid. Courage is being afraid and doing it anyway, not knowing how things will turn out. We release small batch just because. Just because we want them out there. The process is like a two-way street with double-edge swords booby-trapping the way, and we are driving in this vehicle we have built together.

DADHEAD
Meals shared, dishes washed, errands run, and worried thoughts cast toward an uncertain future in this collection. The seeds are sown in haste- bashed out in quick sprints and collated by bloodshot eyes after a fussy toddler’s bedtime. The result is an oblique ‘how to’ guide for poets who parent in tandem.
Dave Wood layers - line over line - affection for his child, nostalgia for his past, respect for his child’s mother, throughout this work. It’s the least problematic portrait of a modern, chronically grim, northern European dad that one could really hope for.
DIG THE INBETWEEN
bilingual DK/RO
An apocalyptic but fluffy artist book, a simmering song to inner thoughts said out loud, a conversation with friends, a bilingual (RO/DK) lyrical painted picture of the inbetween, consisting of a personal selection of Lea Rasovszky's works from 2010 to 2016.

POMELILA
english
A mundane odyssey, rippled with caffeine jitters and jump scares that turn out to be introverted alien interludes. Pomelila: it’s sour and palatable.
INSTANT master-
-piece of shit
Each turn of phrase, Despina opens a new umbrella under her own umbrella. She waves you in to take temporary, twirling shelter in a world dripping with malaise.

Kongens Nytorv 1, 1050 Copenhagen
a publishing porch,
a terrace of tryings,
a playful platform,
a balcony at a party where you go
to get away and happen to meet your future oddball best friends.
slow publishing, tender editorial marinades, all you out there keeping in great ideas, let’s put the Do in Doubtlessness.
WE like the flavor of accidental aesthetics, freak meetings of disciplines that we can put on paper and show to all our friends. Your friends, too. And your friends’ friends and their distant friends and all the people they might keep in their social media friends club.
YOU do what you want,
you live through expression and express through living, vice-versa, take your pick.
you’re versatile and your vice,
that’s it, you gotta write it, say it,
picture it, shape it, boom.
