i am so obsessed with how like. taken as read the ot3 are at this point. like on the one hand it feels like they've been building up to this for ages but on the other hand it kind of feels like i blinked and we skipped right past some Major Turning Point where everything got spelled out and we're just already in firmly Established Relationship-land. obviously tarvek is too well-protected for anyone to assassinate openly, look how angry his boyfriend and girlfriend are at the idea of anyone threatening him. at this point i'm half-convinced agatha's just going to refer to her boyfriends in passing to someone else and no one's even going to comment on it until van finds out twenty pages later and immediately starts making everyone pay up

It’s Fine Press Friday!
Today’s selection hails from the renowned Janus Press in Newark, Vermont. Bone Songs, a non-adhesive woven-vellum bound book featuring poems composed by writer and printer Clifford Burke (b. 1942) along with polymer relief plate prints of line drawings by artist and curator Ruth Fine (b. 1941), was originally conceived in (and inspired by) New Mexico in 1992 by artist, illustrator, printmaker, typographer, and JP founder Claire Van Vliet (b. 1933). The work was produced in its finalized form with assistance from Lidk Wray & Audrey Holden. The Janus Press is known for creating "works of art in book form", and this unique publication is no exception.
This signed (by Burke, Fine, and Van Vliet) limited edition of 150 copies was letterpress printed in Gils Sans Light font on 40 sheets of french-folded Barcham Green Royal Watercolour Society paper. The text block is encased in a cardboard shell wrapped in stretched natural pig parchment. This feature highlights the corporeal nature of the book, which is echoed by Fine’s crudely rendered skull illustrations and Burke’s incantations of the bare bones that haunt and adorn the landscape of the American Southwest. It also brings to mind performance artist Janine Antoni’s 2000 sculptural work “Saddle”, which Antoni describes “like a ghost” as holding “the memory of the artist’s body”. Much like Antoni’s work, Bone Songs evokes the spirit of its content through its physical form.
This is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff
