To celebrate the release of The Piano Music of Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru, we’re hosting a series of Book Launch Gatherings in Seoul, Tokyo, Berlin, and Chicago, together with local venues. We’ll listen to the piano pieces featured in the book and look back on Emahoy’s life as a musician, a nun, and a person. The gatherings are organized by Ningen Paper Press in collaboration with the Emahoy Music Foundation, featuring archival materials from the Foundation’s collection. Check the schedule for each venue and join us at a location near you!

Pictures of the moon, the ultimate topos in photography, have been given a new twist in Erik

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 (taken by someone else). The author of the letters is now in a safe place but prefers to remain anonymous.

The book describes the Russian noise underground in the first year of the war. It’s a devastating read, raw, excessive, hyper-existential, intimate, edge of the world, anti-war, written from the inside.
