Spaces to Say the Same Book

Spaces to Say the Same Book

[ Espacios para decir lo mismo/Spaces to Say the Same [Thing] (1974) is the first book by Hanni Ossott (1946-2002). It strikes readers as being at a distance from the abiding tradition of prose poetry in Spanish. This is Ossott at her most innovative: we may find in these pages the unfulfilled promise of a narrative, with the ephemeral presence of some ghostly characters.]

This book is based on a 1765 bible. It has a third spine in the middle in order to read both volumes at the same time or individually. This edition has two volumes in a box, cloth bound, three square spines, with 3 Pantone inks & text blocks in Laid paper. 150 copies. Printed and bound at Ex Libris Press. 2017.
