Really enjoyed this conversation with Sheridan Marshall @NewBooksinGerman. We spoke about what drives us at Prototype — why design & form matter as much as content, translation and what it means to make space for hybrid writing.
🔗 Interview here: www.new-books-in-german.com/interview-wi...
The translator’s note is exactly what you need. Eg. ‘The poem as landscape is crucial to Van Dixhoorn: the size of the margins, the choice of font, the colour on the cover […] The poet’s commitment to straight lines. The landscape of the poem informs the form: all is at work to make the poem work.’

In a blatant attempt to keep pro-democracy activists behind bars, #HongKong activist #JoshuaWong has been hit with further national security charges. We call for his immediate release and for all those jailed for demanding democracy:

A good review!
Five star strong review of Zsuzsanna Gahse’s Mountainish (trans. @katyderbyshire.bsky.social by Leila Greening in @theartsdesk.bsky.social. prototypepublishing.co.uk/product/moun...
★★★★★ #ZsuzsannaGahse #MOUNTAINISH - Notes on danger and dialogue in the shadow of the Swiss Alps - 'a striking exploration of the linguistic and emotional complexity of our confrontation with alpine space', says Leila Greening @prototypepubs.bsky.social theartsdesk.com/books/zsuzsa...
We are dismayed by the decision to cancel the exhibition License to Offend - out of fear of offence. Cartoonists do essential work and many of those included in the exhibition are Index contributors. We urge the decision to be reversed:
