Synopsis

Winner of the Nelson Ball Prize, 2023

Shortlisted for the Archibald Lampman Award

Minimalist poetry for maximalist times.

Sheets: Typewriter Works extends the minimalist explorations of Cameron Anstee's first collection, Book of Annotations. Prompted by receiving the Olivetti Lettera 30 typewriter that belonged to poet William Hawkins after his death in 2016, the works in this book explore how small poems operate through the freedoms and constraints of the typewriter as both a decaying machine and a mode of composition. Through engagement with writers and artists like Jiri Valoch, Barbara Caruso, Leroy Gorman, Cia Rinne, William Hawkins, Dani Spinosa, Kate Siklosi, and Norman McLaren, Sheets: Typewriter Works re-embeds the minimalist poem in the typewritten page.
