No. 50 has dropped. 4 years and counting of the 1080 Newsletter! Thank you to everyone who has participated in the series so far. It’s been a great run. Let’s hope for 50 more.

As we had started the series 4 years ago with a piece by Tilghman Goldsborough @human_goldberg it’s only right to celebrate our 50th with another missive by him! “Smooth Brain On Bullshit & Nothingness” is a pointed way to usher in a midpoint in the series. Thank you always Tilghman for your writing and friendship!

If you have fallen off the mailing list in recent years, please DM to get back on. If you no longer want to receive these missives pls let us know. If you would like to sign-up, to receive this and future newsletters please DM and consider a small donation to help keep the series afloat. DM for info on how to donate and include your full name and mailing address.

Forever thank you for your readership and friendship all these years. To many more. by @1080press

The newsletter is a free missive that is mailed out every two months, six times a year. It is an essay written by a poet on the subject of their choice. Essay being loosely interpreted / or for that matter as literal as one could want.

1080PRESS will be teaching a class on bookmaking from April 25-June 7th. Over eight weeks, students will develop a project that combines image and text, using the book itself as a tool for inquiry, visual essayship, and creative expression. Students will have the opportunity to leave with small to medium runs of their book and have access to many of both the printing and binding resources at CPW and 1080PRESS. The course will culminate in a small scale exhibition of the books in CPW’s Community Gallery in the summer of 2026. Authors will have the option to sell copies of their books through the CPW Bookstore and Photobook and Zine Fair on August 8 & 9. @cpw_kingston

Signups are limited to 10 participants.

The February newsletter is now here by Madeleine Braun @madeleine______rose , “Flip Your Lid”. Very grateful for Maddie and all her work.

After 3.5 years of newsletters we are finally switching up the format a bit. With the increased price of, well, just abt everything, we will be shifting to a two month mailing schedule. There will still be a newsletter for every month of the year, however there will only be 6 mailings a year instead of 12. It pains us to make this shift, but with the mailing list being over 800 subscribers it’s a necessary adaptation.

With that said, the newsletter is still free and if you would like to receive Maddie’s or future mailings please send us a DM with your full name and address. :)

-as always, thank you for your readership. ❤️‍🔥 by @1080press
