“If you have seen a copy of either of Schaeffer's chapbooks, you will know they are very particular objects. True to the poet, the material decisions are an intoxicating mix of intensely thought out and devil may care.

SLEEPTALKER was printed on extremely fine, almost translucent newsprint-like paper, and bound with staples. His first name and the title are on the cover in green ink in all caps, and the typefaces throughout are all serifs. 70 copies were made.

sleeptalker 2 was printed on a sky blue paper with some lettering in variously coloured inks, all in lower case sans serif. It was simply folded and left unbound, and some of the 100 copies have made their way into the world with slightly different page ordering.

In honour of Schaeffer's idiosyncratic methods, our new edition that collects 'the sleeptalker poems' embodies an obsessive search for matching materials, as well as the deepest breaths of pragmatic compromise.” - Compound Press
