The letter /a/ as labyrinth … Language as suitcase … Text as (literal) compass … “Religious” (book) as immersion … Etymology as space/time travel … The un-thinging of things … Does our writing change the way we experience/ translate the world?

Here is the first of what I hope will be a long and creatively booming adventure. Basically these booklets will be what Baraka Bashment could be if I was more html savvy. You can expect a deliberate and intentional attack on institutionalized anything and the oscification of mystic inquery. Also, you’ll hopefully find attempts at re-appreciating, re-investigating, re-elaborating, and re-evaluating the always already anarcho-mysticsm that is everyday life (with of course some direct perception-bending action).
If you’d like a copy just send me your address via this comment box thing and I’ll send you one free while I can.
All the best,
BB
PS- Hakim B, MMK, and DA already have copies being delivered. Thanks!
