Written in response to three physical photographs, Broken Villas contains and considers how a vessel might clasp tightly to known volumetric identities, but also loom with a set of accentuated clues towards otherness: the excavated seams in the earth and what we fill those holes with, imaginary or otherwise; the glacial erraticism of the boulder; the queer crimping of a hotel pillowcase; the modes via which objects are housed as display, but also packaged away, with sorrow, with fear, with erotism etc. Published as a prelude to BFTK#7, Broken Villas is collected and written by Helen Marten, one of the co-editors of the forthcoming issue.

tendentious | neo-semantics is a collection of text-sound pieces by Lily Greenham transcribed and (re)typeset from a previously unpublished edition originally written in 1970. Reproduced and revocalised in dialogue with the Lily Greenham Archive at Goldsmiths, this new edition is bookended by excerpts of contextual writings by Greenham — ‘a few remarks’ (1970 / 71), ‘language and its uses: lingua tongue’ (1972) and a ‘post scriptum’ to the essay ‘lingual music’ (1977) — and also punctuated by ‘aphorisms’ and ‘50 words stories’ as structural beats between semantic poems. A tall format hole-punched insert contains a written remembrance by Larry Wendt and a photograph courtesy of Stephen Ruppenthal.
