Softspot

softspot is a fragile space seeking to make sense of a complex now. Through a collaborative process of editing and exchange between James Taylor-Foster and OK-RM, softspot is a dive into the recent past. Imagined as a container for the near and the close, it contains a patchwork of prose, verse and visual work that oscillate between the subjective and the objective. Written through the lens of one writer and augmented by a conversation of contributions and references, the book represents a study in how words can be written — and how they can be held in a hand. Conceived of and compiled during 2020 and 2021 with Esther Cloe Theaker , Max Creasy , Rosita Kær , Smari R. Robertsson , Tony Karlsson Savci , and Michela Zoppi . Each softspot contains three copies of the same book. You are invited to keep one and to gift the others as you wish.
