Contemporary poetry collected by Simon Vinkenoog
A second collection
A poet can be recognized by his handwriting. A psychologist for whom ‘handwriting is more than means of communication’,
ventilated this opinion a newspaper on the occasion of the first publication of written language in 1961.
Now again, three years later handwritings of a number of poets assembled. The voice of hand. The accompaniment of words.
Poet and poem are one; language an instrument wielded by the pen. Recognition, contact, understanding-poet and reader become one in written language which will time and again surrender, reveal and disprove its secrets.
The publisher / the editor
Quadrat Prints were a series of experimental graphic design publication edited by Pieter Brattinga and given away by the Hilversum printer de Jong from the early fifties to the mid-seventies. Each one was ten inches square, mostly several stapled pages but some were loose leaf sheets (this alphabet) in a box or folder.
『Quadrat-Print／Kwadraat-Blad』はPieter Brattingaが代表を務めるオランダの印刷会社、de Jong社が広報用に制作し実験的な冊子です。各issueは2,000部ほど刷られていて、サイズは10″x10″で綴じてあるものもあれば簡易的に織り込まれているものもあります。
