These pamphlets maintain a subtly consistent design across the titles under review. Colours are muted; graphics are minimalistic but not austere; and the bright ice-white stock contrasts nicely with the low-key elegance of the cover designs. The thick paper has sufficient heft to allow for the slim pamphlets to be neatly perfect-bound, and the vertical score along the margin is an appealing user-friendly touch. The poetry is similarly consistent, in its themes of sex, intimacy and relationships. One has the sense that one knows, at least a little bit, what to expect from an Out-Spoken Press pamphlet, and can have faith in their quality control.
