I absolutely loved Anney Bolgiano's "Flat-Pack," a chapbook that @eldiagram.bsky.social published a couple years back. Anney combines IKEA visual instructions with rearrangements of Marcus Aurelius. It's marvellous.

Quick note for those of you waiting on our chapbook contest results, we will have those for you this month! Our deadline was later this year, and these take a while to get through with care, but we should have news for you by end of the month if not before.
