It's April 1st! We're launching Iphgenia Baal's Black Skulls at Good Press tonight from 6.30 - free and unticketed!


Join us for the publication launch of Iphgenia Baal's Black Skulls, which makes up Season 1 of Glitches, a new series of hybrid publications at SPAM Press. You can now order online here!



A giant book that can be torn apart as posters, reassembled, reinvented and remixed. Written straight into inDesign, in this mash up text-visual playground, IB approaches all the BS, reaching out towards the ABCs that might have been. Start ripping! 


Iphgenia will be joined by support readings from two Glasgow based artists and writers: Rosie Roberts and Isaac Harris.


iphgenia baal is a writer. she was born in london but now lives in scotland with her new family. she is the author of several books, the first being the hardy tree and the most recent being man hating psycho. she is a enthusiastic producer of print ephemera and collaborative work. she is currently working on a series of books for children, with artist fanny wickstrom.

Rosie Roberts is an artist, writer and editor. Her practice focuses on making space for divergent thinking and conversation. Collaboration is central to the work she produces, starting with a shared question that is then explored more deeply through talking, moving, research.


Recent projects—focusing on editing as mutual aid, the image of the factory roof in anti-colonial direct action documentation and collaborative sound works—engage with ideas of accessibility, resistance, humour and the power of information. This multiform practice renders a kind of patchwork of experiences and artworks documented in the form most relevant to the context.Rosie uses various tools such as: hanging out, collage, Bernadette Mayer's writing experiments; free association; experimental film techniques; sound recording, choreography, feminist archives and with the imaginary tactics of feminist science/speculative fiction. Often asking what it means to make artwork—given a state of poly crises—with integrity and feeling that moves beyond nihilism or cynicism.

Isaac Harris is a writer currently concerned with failing to articulate how much everything is all the time.

There is a small step at entry approximately 3 inches and we have a ramp that can be installed for access to wheelchair users.

 This looks like such an exciting experimental book launch! I love the bold, interactive format of Black Skulls that invites readers to rip, rearrange and reimagine the pages. The lineup of local Glasgow writers giving readings makes this event even more appealing. Great work from SPAM Press for kicking off the Glitches series with this adventurous publication. --wordcam

More people seem to prefer birthday wishes for your brother that focus on positive thoughts for the future while still celebrating everything he has already accomplished.

This 2026 lineup for AFK in Glasgow sounds incredible. Poetry and satire combined for a great cause like the North Gaza Fund is truly inspiring. When I need a mental break between reading such deep works, I usually play スイカ ゲーム online. It is a wonderful way to relax.

That giant book/poster concept is wild lol. I can see why they’d want to launch something like this with live readings. @tag 2
