LETTER BOX: The Geometry of Loss

Written by Rick Black. Visualized by Warren Lehrer.
Projected pub date: May, 2026. Publisher, Center for Book Arts.
6.5” x 6.5” x 200 pages.

Grief is love with nowhere to go. Sometimes it gets locked up inside for years. Letter Box: The Geometry of Loss is a unique, exquisite and powerful book that addresses how a person can deal with personal loss, feel the bottomless pain, yet manage to move on. Written by former New York Times reporter Rick Black, it is the story of a young man’s coming to grips with the unexpected death of his mother from cancer and other traumatic memories from his years as a reporter in the Middle East. The sparse poetic prose—which consists of only a few words per page—is choreographed for the page by visual literature pioneer Warren Lehrer. His typographic settings give delicate and surprising form to the interior, emotional and metaphorical underpinnings of Black’s words. Together, the writing and visuals create a moving, beautiful, and distinctively cinematic book experience. Letter Box: The Geometry of Loss is a vehicle for readers of all ages to process their own emotions through a visual and literary odyssey.

About the book:

Jericho’s Daughter is Lehrer’s anti-war, feminist retelling of the biblical tale of Rahab, the Canaanite “harlot” who lived in a mud hut inside the wall of Jericho. The beautifully produced, full-color book is illuminated with original images and objects created by acclaimed painter/artist Sharon Horvath, bound in a dos-à dos binding, once used to bind Old and New Testaments together. “Lehrer’s text and Horvath’s images revive the story of Rahab with resonance for unfolding events in the 21st century, but also emphasizing a feminist revision to the stigmatization of her self-determination and independence. Rahab’s entreaty to end the cycles of violence that have been part of the long history of Israel and Gaza could not be more relevant. This book will provide its own enduring legacy as a document of this moment in time.”

Johanna Drucker, leading visual literature scholar, author of countless books including Testament of Women

This Page is an Occupied Territory is a limited-edition newspaper-poem written by poet, cultural critic Adeena Karasick, visualized by author, designer, Warren Lehrer. Composed in reaction to the ongoing occupation/war/slaughter in Israel/Gaza, Karasick’s text and Lehrer’s visuals approach language and the page itself as an occupied territory. Together they investigate notions of possession by force, borders, blockades, barriers, translation (whereby one language is layered onto the body of another), and the word war as an English noun and verb meaning “conflict” and a German adjective [wàhr] meaning what’s “true, real, genuine,” literally places “war” at war with itself. To wit, “wà[h]r” not only “occupies” the homography between the ear and the eye; the babelism at play between speech and writing—but born in “differance,” madness and effacement, the notion of “occupation” points to how what’s “true” is always in conflict. Many of the typographic elements were printed letterpress at the Center for Book Arts in NYC and the Center for Editions at SUNY Purchase. The final newspaper was printed at Newspaper Club in Glasgow, Scotland.

Ouvert Oeuvre: Openings is a collaboration between acclaimed poet, performer, cultural theorist and media artist Adeena Karasick, and designer/author and vis lit pioneer Warren Lehrer. Inscribing what the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas might call “espace vital” (the space we can survive), the two poems that embody this work form an ecstatically wrought exploration of re-entering the world after a pandemic that never seems to end.
