JAN ZWICKY Sixty-Seven Ontological Studies ⁦Freehand Books⁩ Sacred space? Nostalgia? We realize how much of reality stirs behind these unopened covers. Time passes. The library is refigured: many libraries we visited have gone silent. The snow, dusty and hard, endures.

We are so excited about this!!
