The audio reading of this book

This volume has not been recorded yet. We would rather say so than let you look for something that is not there.

Stillness Is the Ritual, the Anchor Edition, is recorded and out now — one hundred poems gathered from across the Library, about an hour and a half, narrated by a digital voice.

The journal and the cards

Neither is finished. When they are, a short set from this volume will be here — free, with nothing to fill in — and the full editions will be available separately.
