Gone
Just published and illustrated Leah Fritz’s new Hearing Eye pamphlet, Gone. 36 pages, 3 full page illustrations. £5. Available from Central Books
Leah Fritz is an American feminist poet and author. Although she was born in the United States, Fritz has been active in England since she moved here in 1985.
Here are poems for Howard, her late husband of 62 years; remembrance of literary and political lives; imagined musings of an undrowned Shelley; thoughts on Ozymandias and other dictators; and sharp philosophical unpicking of relationships with poetry and psychoanalysis.

Politics of Print
This set of prints spans 20 years with their roots in my involvement with direct action against the first Gulf War. They come from practical political action intertwined with the practical work of cutting and scratching and inking of surfaces. Printmaking has always been the art form that belongs to political movements: images that need to communicate strong thoughts and feelings; images that can be reproduced quickly and easily; images that can assert again and again that we think through pictures when we are reaching for humanity and poetry. Controlling the printing press is like controlling the megaphone.
