2022 || Paperback || Rune Peitersen || Jap Sam Books

Scherer’s work is thought-pro...

What begins as a grand science experiment quickly transforms into a lyrical duet with the enchanted ground beneath us.
Hyatt and Enrique Ramirez begin the text with examinations of a whole-Earth sensorium. The text then branches out in three directions—Invocation, Reverie, and Rhapsody—before reconverg...
