Upcoming publications are offered through HM’s mail list (see below). Inquiries about published books available can be sent to hm[at]heavenlymonkey.com

1 JANUARY 2026: HM’s first publication this year will be Josh Bell’s poem Sci-Fi Violence, with five double-page aquatints (approx. 10 x 16 inches) by Briony Morrow-Cribbs, plus a small one added to the title page. She’ll also be printing an etching on sheets that will be used for the quarter binding.

While she’s doing all that printing, the HM studio will be printing the text sheets for a sampler of handmade papers made by Reg Lissel. There will be twenty sets, each with about 25 samples, most of them full 13 x 18 inch sheets, a few of the more scarce samples as half sheets. The text includes brief technical comments from Reg, and an account of the white paper he developed for text printing, which we called HM Text.

Briony and I should finish printing at about the same time, and Reg’s sampler will be put on hold while Sci-Fi Violence is bound. It is scheduled for publication in May. About a month prior to publication, a notice with final details, some images and the opportunity to reserve a copy will be sent to people who have expressed interest.

The summer will be spent making boxes for Reg’s paper samples. The sheets will be folded once, making folios, and issued loose. Publication is anticipated in early fall.

If there’s time, a translation of a short text about papermaking by Charles Ramuz, with facsimiles of wood engravings by Henry Bischoff, might appear by the end of the year.
