A Tender Exile
"A Tender Exile" is the result of a deeply personal journey—one shaped by displacement, nostalgia, and the search for belonging. Inspired by "How To Live Together", a book compiling Roland Barthes’ notes for his lecture of the same name, Federico Gargaglione explores four key concepts: Akedia, Xeniteia, Anachoresis, and Thlipsis. These ideas became a framework for understanding his own experiences, ultimately shaping the foundation of this book.
As part of this journey, he traveled to Mount Etna…
Young Predictions
"Young Predictions" discloses the notes of Cypriot painter Polys Peslikas, written between 2018 and 2025. These fragments—gathered in orbit around paintings made over the same period—reflect openly on the canon of painting both as a revered structure and an unruly and obscenely private, testimonial act. The book invites poet and writer Penelope Ioannou into an exchange with the material, her own notes slipping between Peslikas’ as a result of being granted entry into his canvases. Text and paint…

Better Do It Now Before You Die Later (Book)
Though his years in the New York free-jazz scene of the sixties cemented his reputation as “one of the most forceful and convincing composers and soloists in his field,” saxophonist Sonny Simmons (1933–2021) was nearly forgotten by the eighties, which found him broke, heavily dependent on drugs and alcohol, and newly separated from his wife and kids. “I played on the streets from 1980 to 1994, 365 days a year,” Simmons tells jazz historian and biographer Marc Chaloin in Better Do It Now Before Y…
Vite Altre
*OBS written in Italian language* "Vite Altre" is a small fanzine featuring six short stories, collected through a call launched via social media and word of mouth. It’s a modest project, born somewhat playfully. The idea took shape at the beginning of summer 2024, and the first contributions came from friends and supporters of the initiative. This collection features stories that venture into brief forays of speculative biology and science fiction. Each piece enriches a shared narrative of inte…
ANOK4U2 (Book)
"As you may know if you move in certain circles, Crass was a collective of English punks active between the late 1970s and 1984. Some of them had long been involved in certain creative fringes of the hippie movement in the previous decade. Anarchists and pacifists, they didn't have an easy life: from the very beginning, they had to fight hard to avoid being silenced. In 1985, they were labeled "an association operating on the fringes of the law" and convicted in court for producing "material con…
The Head. Works on Paper (Book)
*200 copies limited edition* The book “The Head” presents a series of drawings and sketches on paper, created by Panos Sklavenitis between 2022 and 2024. Initially conceived as ideas for costumes and stage designs for his ongoing eponymous project, these sketches quickly evolved into autonomous artistic creations, opening new horizons in the exploration of the grotesque.
Through the “#thehead” series, Sklavenitis delves into the concept of the “carnivalesque” and the grotesque body, focusing on …
Patterns in Nature – Peter S. Stevens (Book)
*120 copies limited edition* Patterns in Nature – Peter S. Stevens by Yiannis Papadopoulos is a book-after-a-book, rather than a redesign of an existing book. It is the result of negotiating the hierarchies of content of the Peter S. Stevens’ homonymous book, published in the 70’s, trying to find relevancies to appear as a printed matter again in the 2020’s. One could say that actually the reader deals with two books, both old and new, printed on top of each other and the printed space/object, t…
After Words (Visual and Experimental Poetry in Little Magazines and Small Presses, 1960–2025) (Book)
A revolutionary anthology of visual poetry contextualizing works within their original small-press publications, from authors such as Wallace Berman and Marian Zazeela to titles such as Ginger Snaps and Futura.
By the 1960s, visual and experimental poetry was widely acknowledged as the first truly international poetry movement, occurring on several continents. The simultaneous “mimeograph revolution”—an emerging name for the proliferation of small, poet- and artist-operated presses and little ma…
Appunti per una resurrezione (Book)
*OBS!!! book in Italian language* "E la società e il mangiare – è tutto buono – gente che si sposa, onestà e tasse, bevete che alla fine è gratis – amare chiunque – misteri e fastidi. Io rimango perché non ho nulla da fare, né di meglio né di peggio. E aspetto sempre un incontro, un lampo, qualsiasi cosa che mi riporti alla vita."

MOR (Book)
Tip! In March 2022, here at Monday Press, we began receiving long emails from an anonymous account belonging to someone we barely knew. These letters were sent from deep underground—so deep that we weren’t even sure if it was safe to reply. They told an insider’s story of a world in the process of being erased: the anxiety, the fear, and the longing for something that was vanishing right before the author's eyes. Over the course of a year, we received four letters and a series of photographs (ta…
