This eighth instalment of BFTK is on letters and letters. It takes the double meaning of this word as its point of dispatch, inviting recipients to think through and respond to — directly and indirectly — ideas around correspondence, addressing and alphabets. What it means to be in correspondence with somebody, the initiation and continuation of this communicative exchange and what happens when it is severed or lost. How to write directly towards a you, to you; to a particular reader, object, locale. The volume is littered with letters. There are letters about letters, letters to letters, letters that crease, fold, tear and rip, letters that are sent and lost, found and read. There are letters that pile up, their combinations arranged and rearranged to form comprehensive linguistic logics, and there are letters that are simply letters. Contributions sit in eight-page signatures, of which there are twenty-six in total. Of the eight hundred bound copies, twenty-six are left unbound, returned to discrete correspondence, loose abécédaire units for exchange — letters to be leafed through and addressed once more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR\u003cbr\u003eSHADOW IN THAT MIRROR\u003cbr\u003eChang Yuchen\u003cbr\u003e(pp.1–8, A)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBESTIARY FOR A NON-GENETIC DESCENDANT\u003cbr\u003eBhanu Kapil\u003cbr\u003e(pp.9–16, B)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHROW STUFF AWAY\u003cbr\u003eHannah Regel\u003cbr\u003e(pp.17–24, C)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE MOON HATH XXX DAYS:\u003cbr\u003eLETTERS FOR LETTERS\u003cbr\u003eHelen Marten\u003cbr\u003e(pp.25–32, D)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHAT DOES THE LOSS FEEL LIKE?\u003cbr\u003eMeg Miller\u003cbr\u003e(pp.33–48, E, F)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLIGHT UP THE A\u003cbr\u003eKate Briggs\u003cbr\u003e(pp.49–56, G)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE POSTCODE CONNECTION\u003cbr\u003eRebecca Ross\u003cbr\u003e(pp.57–72, H, I)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(LETTER) TO S… LABYRINTH-CORTEX\u003cbr\u003eMichèle Métail, trans.
