Possible Books

Possible Books was conceived in 2008 and only brought to life 4 years later on a copy machine in Warsaw. Since then, numerous publications in the close and extended circle of friends have formed a family library that is constantly being expanded. Friends and acquaintances are not only authors, but also co-publishers, co-editors and co-producers.
Since 2015, we have also been publishing texts on art in public space, also called graffiti by some, under the imprint Menetekel.

We see ourselves as book makers, not publishers. Our books are industrially produced when necessary, but always have a "human touch".

BUS 126, Die längste Nacht des Jahres (The longest night of the year), Possible Books, 2025, © BUS 126

Die längste Nacht des Jahres (The longest night of the year) is a poem like a river, a roaring stream of consciousness that transforms the wintry Teltow Canal into a Phlegethon of the highest order. Bus126's stream of consciousness is wild and rocky, containing lonely islands, edible fish and untamed water monsters. Like a swarm of hungry bats, his words flit close to the water's surface from bank to bank through the darkness.

The stories inside of Southern Most & Travels With Jeff are wild portraits of America's underbelly written in the spirit of Kerouac or Vollmann if they were obsessed with graffiti and focused their lyrical prose on the griminess of the southern states.

The stories are simply two travelogues through early 21st Century America; multiple journeys overlaid on each other with the common destination of the strange swampy peninsula known as Florida. The main characters see the world through the lens of an outsider. Its all about graffiti, riding freight trains, finding a place to sleep, and dodging police. Adam Void positions the past as a reoccurring specter that peppers reality with stories of the last time "we were here", that one perfect ride years ago, and painting those spots that may have been long since buffed but are still running in our minds. There is a sense of time and aging in the real world, while also striving for an eternal youth in their odd fantasy world. These are not stories of hard-bodied street kings or crusty road-kid lifers. Southern Most & Travels With Jeff seem to show a vulnerability and humanity that are sometimes missing from subcultural narratives, while also mirroring a graffiti embellished meta-landscape where messages are being transmitted and received at all times.

The book itself is an exquisite collectively produced work of art. Matthias Hübner and Stavros Gialamidis brought the design and typefaces a unique and personal touch with infinite variations and artistic embellishments. Printed at the RisoKeller in Weissensee, the two-color risography gives the pages a warm and imperfect feeling. Adam Void's creative hand is present throughout as well, in various drawings, photographs, and ephemera. There are reproduced Polaroids, informational pamphlets, and scraps of found paper inserted at various spots inside the book that bring the adventure to another level.
