World Book Night 2026 – The Mountains Are Calling…
You're invited to respond to a poem, text or book about mountains for an exhibition and mail art swap.
Deadline 3rd March 2026. Some early submissions shown here. Find out more and download the full brief at:

‘The Mountains are Calling’, 2026. Concertina book, handprinted on Fabriano Rosapina Bianca 220gsm and inkjet printed on Fabriano Tonal paper 120gsm. Varied edition of 5. 14 x 20 cm folded, 70 x 20 cm unfolded. Made in response to The Living Mountain: A Celebration of the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland by Nan Shepherd. By @clarerogersartist.bsky.social A postcard artwork based on the novel ‘The Call of the Wild’ by Jack London (first published 1903). Read in Dutch translation: ‘De roep van de wildernis’. Recently I found a sketch that I made in 1986, representing a typical flat Dutch landscape. That same year I read ‘The Call of the Wild’, situated in Yukon, a wild part of western Canada. To me brought a direct longing for mountains (born and raised in the Netherlands I wasn’t used to higher levels). In 1989 I got the opportunity to go to Alaska, my first contact with similar areas. During the years some more were to follow. In my contribution I use the 2026 WBN motto: the mountains keep on calling. The vowels already left, they couldn’t wait. By Frans Baake

Tonight! Tuesday, December 9, 6-8 PM at Walls Turned Sideways (2717 W. Madison St. Chicago, IL 60612). Join us for Matteo Guidi and Chicago’s Joe Sorrentino for a conversation on cooking in prison. Brett Bloom and I will be there with the book for sale. wallsturnedsideways.org/event/cookin...
Cooking in Maximum Security is a cookbook compiled by Matteo Guidi, who worked with people detained in the high surveillance sections of Italian prisons, through a continuous exchange of letters between 2009 and 2013. This book explains the methods and strategies prisoners use to cook in their cells with few available resources. Making kitchen tools before one can even begin to gather ingredients is a priority in this cookbook. In addition to identifying the necessary utensils, this book also describes how to construct them. A broom handle becomes a rolling pin, shoelaces tie rolled bacon for curing, and the cupboard or stool becomes an oven. Even the heat from an old cathode ray tube television helps dough for pizza and bread to rise in the cold environment of a prison cell. The recipes themselves, for all kinds of classic Italian pasta dishes, sauces, meat preparations, and pastries, reveal a whole new level of skill and ingenuity when the reader learns how they are made in defiance of the discouraging experience of detention. Join us for a conversation between Guidi and Chicago’s very own Joe Sorrentino for a conversation on cooking in prison! WHEN: Tuesday, December 9th from 6-8pm WHERE: @wallsturnedsideways Walls Turned Sideways 2717 W. Madison St. Chicago, IL 60612 In collaboration with @halfletterpress Supoorted by @irllull
