Ink

There is something stubbornly alive about print. The folded morning paper with its smudged ink, the dog-eared corner of a paperback, the glossy pages of a magazine that transport you elsewhere. At The Analogue Press, we savour these tactile forms not as relics, but as companions to daily life. This space will wander across newspapers, books, magazines and poetry. We’ll look at journalists, authors, printers, and makers who keep words alive on paper. We’ll also ask, ‘what role does print play in a world where screens dominate?’ Some say the internet killed print, we say print simply slowed down and waited for us to notice again. Here we revive its presence, one story at a time. …and, perhaps beyond print as a medium, this space will expand into other analogue storytelling – from letters handwritten to posters wheat-pasted, from recipe cards in kitchens to field notes in gardens, and from sports cards for collecting to delving into statistics of favourite teams and players. Ink, after all is wherever memory and handwork meet. Pitch a story, poem, or favourite read in the comments for us to discuss!
