EDITORIAL YOU’RE MY TYPE The highlight of having an independent magazine is being able to take it by the hand towards the subjects one favors. There’s no need for neutrality here. In my eyes, typewriters are dream machines. Icons of design and progress, communication and disconnection, these beautiful objects have traveled with us through time and helped us tell our stories, document them and turn them into art. Typewriters have accompanied me since I wrote my very first poem as a child, and through time became a constant, especially since the lucky day when Red Door correspondent David H.Rambo gifted me a red Olivetti in New York as he prepared to move back to Mexico. It was also him who helped me get a custom painted pink and black Lettera 31 in Mexico and baptized her “Kitty Olivetti”, teaching me typewriters had nicknames, like good friends do. Ever since, I fell down the rabbit hole and now own around 20 Olivettis, an insane number for those outside of the global typewriter collector club, but quite a humble number for those within. Then came the typewritten art and the posters, ribbons and collectible objects, which now fill my home in Denmark and occupied my lockdown days with clickety happiness. When I asked the readers of Red Door to submit content for this typewritten issue, I fell even deeper into this ink-stained wonderland, admiring the many stories, letters, photos and art that arrived, and the roles typewriters play in our lives, from revolutionary strategies for reclaiming our privacy, to aesthetic attraction and mental health support. These are some of the many ways these analog machines lighten up our lives, and our pockets. But oh, they’re worth their weight in poetry. From aiding writers to focus in their projects and others to disconnect from the constant buzz of this current social media-obsessed world, to helping express art and new ideas, and even serving as a tool for activism, direct action and poetic existences, (I read in a sticker they even kill fascists), these dream machines are keeping many of us sane. Thanks to everyone who submitted content to this issue, but especially to Richard Polt, for his interview on the Typewriter Revolution (a bible for collectors and dummies alike) and for the beautiful illustrations that accompany the poetry segment. Rambo, the Red Door correspondent, patreon supporter, typewriter collector, poet and photographer fell endlessly asleep at the beginning of October, so this issue, which would’ve been his favorite, is dedicated to his memory. I have lost my great collaborator and conspirator in all things Olivetti, but through him I have learned of a world filled with incredible artists, dreamers and collectors, who keep giving back and helping me find the way. To typewriters, to Rambo, to poetry, and to each one of you: Thank you. May poetry and ink always be near.
