coup de grace | zwischenstation dec 1997

This poems collection is called ‘coup de grace | zwischenstation’ and was self-published in Frankfurt in 1998 in a limited edition of 100. It features poems by authors Bartosz Maj and Gernot Heinkelein. The poems are printed on loose sheet 170g stock [schneidersöhne, recystar matt] offering the reader the possibility to change the order according to personal taste. Gernot Heinkeleins' ‘coup de grace’ collection is typographically rather minimal reflecting the extremely direct and 'straight-forward' language and feeling of his work. 'Zwischenstation’ is the more abstract, more emotional, sad and wild part and is designed in individual solutions illustrating a chosen aspect of the poem. The cover of this publication is handmade using embossing and a rather complicated cover concept which was produced using one sheet of 400g stock [schneidersöhne, arches expression]. Each print has its individual number printed on the back.
