Solar Calendar by Jeremy Bendik-Keymer was released today from punctum books. I designed the cover and the interior. The book mixes philosophy, poetry, photography, and more; it is a thoroughly designed interior.
As If
Helvete 3
The third issue of Helvete, the journal of black metal studies, is out today from punctum. I designed the cover, with an image by Michael Vallera.
Elemental Disappearances
Elemental Disappearances by Jason Mohaghegh and Dejan Lukić came out today from tiny collections (an imprint of punctum). I designed the interior and the cover. It's a collection of paragraph-long theoretically-inflected essays that are each connected to an image. A curious little book that rewards exploring, and one where I feel like I did a good job marrying form and content.
Photography in the Middle
Photography in the Middle by Rob Coley and Dean Lockwood was published today from punctum. I designed the cover based on a series of photos by Eadweard Muybridge.
CMOK to YOu To
CMOK to YOu To, a collection of correspondence between Marc James Léger and Nina Živančević, was released today by Dead Letter Office (an imprint of punctum). I designed the interior.
Speculations VI
I designed the cover to issue 6 of Speculations from punctum books.
Walk on the Beach
The first book by punctum's newest imprint, tiny collections, came out today. Walk on the Beach is a collection of photos, drawings, and essays that were gathered at and around an event held by the Material Collective at the 2014 BABEL Conference. I designed the interior and the cover (and the logo for the press!).
Ardea
Ardea, a philosophical novella by Freya Mathews, was published today by punctum books. I designed the cover.
Murder Ballads
Murder Ballads by David John Brennan came out today from punctum. I designed the interior and the cover, based on a section of the first edition of Lyrical Ballads. The book is a very creative work of criticism, mixing scholarly writing with short poetic plays, novelistic scenes, and other modes in order to get at the question of authorship in Lyrical Ballads. The interior design reflects this salmagundi approach, with sections in a very modern style and other sections straight from the 1798 rulebook.
Why the Center Can't Hold
Why the Center Can't Hold by Tom O'Neill was published today by punctum. I designed the cover and the interior.

Rumba under Fire
Rumba under Fire, a collection of quiet varied essays (and interviews and memoirs and poems) edited by Irina Dumitrescu, was published today by punctum books. I designed the interior and the cover.
Humid, All Too Humid

Object Oriented Environs
Object Oriented Environs, edited by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen and Julian Yates, was published today by punctum. I designed the cover and interior.
More&More
Two companion books by artist Marina Zurcow came out from punctum today. More&More (The Invisible Ocean) is the catalogue and companion essay to her current show; I did some light editing for that book. More&More (A Guide to the Harmonized System) I was much more deeply involved with. It's an alphabetical list of the codes used to ship various projects in container vessels, with a small number of micro-essays scattered throughout. I designed the interior of that book, and write a few of the micro-essays. It's a fun brick of a book.
Knowledge, Spirit, Law
Knowledge, Spirit, Law, book 1, by Gavin Keeney was published today by punctum books. I designed the cover.
Knocking the Hustle
Knocking the Hustle by Lester Spence was published today by punctum books. I designed the interior and the cover (based on a photo by the author).
