Childhood Home of Peter Schmidt

Bonner Straße 1A, Berlin, Germany

(Photographed by Valentine Schmidt, April 2010)
.

"I haven`t seen Bonner Straße very recently, but it was mercifully not

destroyed in the war, and looked probably much as it did in Peter' s

childhood when I was last there some years ago. I'm not sure whether

Peter was born there or in the hospital(May 17, 1931), but he lived there

until my parents emigrated in 1938." - Sarah Haffner, from last fall.

Two pages from "alphabet"

Hansjörg Mayer

Editions Hansjörg Mayer

1962-3

.

"Hansjörg Mayer’s alphabet is a sequence of twenty-six visual poems, each one focusing on a single letter of the alphabet. In this minimalist work, multiple instances of individual letterforms combine to create abstract graphic compositions – ideograms unencumbered by ideas – actualizing a purely formal rhythm of black strokes and white counters." - Guy Bennett

.

Guy runs Mindmade Books, a small press publishing chapbooks of modern and contemporary poetry. With cooperation from Hansjorg Mayer, he republished "alphabet". Among the more than fifty titles that have appeared to date are works by internationally renowned poets, several “first collections,” and occasional reprints of little-known or long-out-of-print texts...
