He showed me this sketchbook, and a few days later I was looking at a pile of them. He had accumulated in those years, in perfect modesty to me, these signs of intense but private visual activity. I became somewhat enviously exited, and as I am often if not constantly an avid publisher - mostly (and understandably?) of myself - , I felt for Bill some of my publishing greed. I proposed to get one of the sketchbooks printed and to bring it out, into the open. The idea was twofold: More people than a few friends would like to look at these picture books if they could get hold of them; and others besides me would feel moved by this dreamlike show of drawings, put on stage intensely and concisely. So here is the book. Some other publisher - independent of business considerations or not as hopelessly embroiled in his own picture making as I am in mine - might take over here. Thus, for an even greater number of readers, Bill Newkirk's sketchbooks would unfold as far and as wide as I wish them to do." / Bala, Mosfellssveit April 19th 1988 Dieter Roth. // Karl-Dietrich Roth (* 21.
