see full thread for why i chose @ladyartaud.bsky.social ‘s work for volume one 🦷📿🪞
Capgras Feature posts begin!

An excerpt of Evelynn Black's translated stubs from Doxology Helios, published in Volume One.

We chose these for CAPGRAS because they suture the spiritual with the substantial and then shorten, spin.

"One’s braids the color of wine, one’s puffy headphones, feather cut
and slim neck rising from a scissored collar, that one
bought a raccoon penis bone on lunch break
Mostly we didn’t speak
Another life glimpsed in a detail mentioned, leaving or arriving"

Library purchases are purchases. They pay the press. The press counts them towards advances and royalties. And (gasp) the book is in a library!! It’s wonderful and no one should ever feel bad about getting a book through a library instead of buying it.
I got it from my local library system, which has 28 physical copies (more than half are checked out) and 4 audiobooks. The branch library is two blocks from my house so I get most of my books from there. Hope this helps because I loved the book - I'm not a historian and knew nothing of that period.
