“If You Surrendered to the Air, You Could Ride It” is a scroll artist book by @zpulley resulting from her flag installation at the Shirley Fireman Art Center. The top ten global news headlines were rearranged, and the resulting text was machine-embroidered onto textiles. A new flag was added weekly for eight weeks, so that by the show’s closing, the installation had become an archive of a full news cycle. The work extends Lorraine O’Grady’s 1977 “Cutting Out the New York Times”, asking what her gesture of cutting and rearranging authoritative language means now, when there is no single paper of record, only the aggregated noise of an algorithmically fractured media ecosystem. An original publication documented each flag alongside its source headlines, and the artist book extends that archive into a standalone embroidered object. All the news and headlines are documented with their corresponding links in a digital archive that accompanies the book. “In the closing of Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon, protagonist Milkman Dead “surrenders to the air,” confronting his family’s ruptured legacy while embracing the possibility of freedom. He does not succumb to broken realities; he reclaims them as a means to ride toward liberation. This project begins here.” —Zoë Pulley We are very excited to be collaborating with Zoë in several projects and will be sharing more soon. Don’t forget to visit her booth @thearmoryshow.

NEW 📬 Our chapbook series features works by authors we have published in the past, showcasing a small selection of texts alongside the work of a guest translator. We have had the honor to work with @kenningeditions and @claraelisabz. This time, we selected two poems from the book we published in 2026, “Poemas” by Ida Gramcko (1924-1994) and worked with author @erikamorillo on its translation to English, which made these small batch of 100 copies possible. This is the third publication after Vestrini’s French texts and Ossott’s Greece poems a few years back. “Gramcko’s expansive and richly ornamented syntax unfolds through cascading images, each one giving way to the next with an almost symphonic momentum.” E.M. Thank you to Rafael Castillo Zapata for facilitating his text and @elarchivove for letting us reprint a detail of an image of the Alfredo Cortina Archive. The rest of the images are part of Letra Muerta’s archive, digitized from the National Library in Venezuela and the author’s personal library. Printing, editing and binding by Letra Muerta Inc.

We invited Palestinian-American artist @sabri to embroider a type lock-up and pattern we made for “The Private Life of Ragdolls”. Sabri Sundos works with textiles and Tatreez, which is considered a social language and living archive. The result ended up being hybrid in its nature since he added floral motifs preset in his own work to the label we designed. It was based book and exhibition project on Venezuelan writer and humorist Aquiles Nazoa (1920-1976). 🇻🇪 The font we used was custom-made by @bghryct based on stitching patterns from the first edition in 1976 and the techniques used in the dolls that are part of the publication. The endpapers were designed by @samorius and came from the book we published in 2019. Box fabrication by @phosphorescentfacehighlighter Sabri Sami Sundos work is rooted in his personal experience of being raised in the diaspora. He explores themes of identity, labor, and time. Through the merging of traditional craft and cultural iconography, his work emphasizes the importance of agency & human touch, highlighting the inherent tactile nature of art-making as a means of reclaiming and preserving heritage.  More soon about our book collaborations with Sabri.

CRANIA • by @adalbersalash Formally, the book is meant to be perceived as a medical guide or as a small encyclopedia. It comes inside a gauze sleeve and is wrapped like an envelope, similar to when medications are prescribed in the U.S. We wanted to evoke the rawness of the texts in the binding details—the sewing and the thread, the exposed spine with printed signatures—and in the typographic selection: Public Sans, a geometric sans, and Labrada, a serif by @omnibustype. One might think that there’s a fixed relationship between language and typographic style, but as the book evolves, these lines blur. The cover speaks to our failure as a society founded on colonial practices. “This is a book-museum with an exhibition about the cranial vault (…) It would be accurate to define Crania as a conceptual map that is at the same time the display of several diagrams/sculptures/performances, in which narrative and documentary aspects are sometimes accentuated (…) That variety makes the book bold and noteworthy, in the Letra Muerta editorial tradition” @humorvagabundo Drawings by @jesushverano.studio translation by @robinepmyers.

The main branch of the New York Public Library @nypl is now hosting the work of @john_vasquez_mejias in their collection. The woodcuts and puppets are a testimony of his research on Puerto Rico, and an exploration of subjects of his heritage and family histories. His book was also part of the exhibit hosted by the library “¡Wepa! Puertorriqueños en el mundo de los cómics” We celebrate this in our studio and hope to see everyone this Friday for his performance. Always honored to be working with John.

We are excited to share that we are launching our new website! 🪦🪦🪦 🪦🪦🪦 💐You can now see a selection of our projects, the work we do regarding collection development, design, research, and archives. We also added a list of the artists we represent, and the estates we manage. You can also book a slot to visit our reading room or a design consultation. ✨We are officially opening one extra slot for consultations for February✨ The archive section is very modest so far. Soon we will make an open call for volunteers to help us upload more content (it’s too much, more than 2000 images). Website development by @wearesoulful, design by Letra Muerta Inc & Soulful. Tremendous effort and help from @samorius on every possible front. Proofreading by @corockliff and @erikamorillo.
