“Paraules per engegar la màquina” is a 'cadavre exquis' of poetry by Núria Martínez-Vernis, Joan Puigdefàbrega, Guim Valls, Meritxell Sales, víctor bonetarbolí, Marta Darder, Andríi Antonovskyi, Meritxell Cucurella-Jorba, M. Pey, Lurdes Malgrat, Adam Manyé and Dolors Miquel, jointly edited by Tinta Invisible and Vibop Edicions.
My approach has been to make the cover. Rather than illustrating the text, I have chosen to illustrate the idea of a cadavre exquis; both with the sphinx, a being made of parts of other beings, and with the two plants on the flaps, made of various plant species.
The publication has been the excuse to start the Minerva (a printing machine) that fell from the sky to the Tinta Invisible workshop. Part of the publication has been printed with this machine. Hence the title. And this is the first volume of the “Minerva” publishing collection launched by the two publishers.
It is a publication made with great care. The folds, which are separated from the dust jacket, are hand-sewn, and the copies, 500, are numbered. And, to top it off, there is a “fe d’errates” which is a poem by Joan Brossa, enclosed in an old envelope.
