"Die Stempel mit dem Schriftzug: "Alfred-Rosenberg-Spende für die Deutsche Wehrmacht …". Eine kurze Untersuchung nach anderen Belegen und Formen über diesen Stempel ergab, dass solche Stempel auch mit anderen Gaubezeichnungen bekannt sind. Es handelte sich bei diesen Aktionen um deutschlandweite Buchsammlungen, die das Ziel verfolgten, den Soldaten an der Front Bücher zukommen zu lassen. Durchgeführt wurde die Aktion "Buchspende für die Deutsche Wehrmacht" vom Kriegs-Winterhilfswerk, dem ein Aufruf Rosenbergs voranging. Bis zum Jahr 1940 konnten so 8 ½ Millionen Bücher gesammelt werden. Bis zum Frühjahr 1941 konnten in zwei Sammelaktionen 15 ½ Millionen Bücher an die kämpfende Front verschickt werden . Im Oktober 1941 erfolgte nach den Erfolgen der letzten zwei Sammlungen ein…

The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows
) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions…
