Karl Stephan’s 1967 cover art for German sci-fi magazine Terra Utopische Romane #534. The hair is a nice touch on this Space Skeleton. I hope he completed his diary entry.

The Caspian Sea Monster
The KM (Korabl Maket) (Russian: Корабль-макет, literally “Ship-prototype”), known colloquially as the Caspian Sea Monster, was an experimental ground effect vehicle (ekranoplan) developed in the Soviet Union in the 1960s by the Central Hydrofoil Design Bureau. The KM began operation in 1966, becoming the largest and heaviest aircraft in the world, and was continuously tested by the Soviet Navy until 1980, when it was damaged in a testing accident and sank in the Caspian Sea.
Charles Lilly, 1975
It is so hot today I hate it, yet her voice is like jumping into a cold pool. Your hurt is cold Boa
Fantastic track from a British band for a fantastically strange anime. While driving to teach at various juvenile detention centers all over West Virginia, this song was trapped in my phone’s cache. I had no service, but I had the halting tom rolls and ethereal guitar slides of Duvet by bôa.
Give the full song a listen.
How Wings Are Attached to the Backs of Angels is a 1996 animated short by Canadian animator Craig Welch, produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB).
Uh...must go faster?
Excerpt from The Complete Poems by Anne Sexton
Los fantasmas de la guerra que dejamos atrás.
The ghosts of war we left behind.
When I had to put myself into a frame of despair during my final year of acting (2016), I would listen to a certain song. I can’t remember it right now; the search through my own memories is hampered by the same haze that blankets my confidence and most positive emotions. Everything positive is obscured in a soft, bisque smog.
That same year, while celebrating the wrap of my last project, I held a man who had been shot one night in front of our home. I remember this event in clear detail: the sweat pouring from his body but the lack of blood, the soft plosive sounds he made while trying to tell me his name. I remember thinking it was Tim or Tom, but he could never form the sound. I remember saying, over and over again, “Hey there, you’re going to be okay. What’s your name? Can you squeeze my hand?” His hair was cold and wet. I thought he was dead when I first ran to him. Maybe he was?
Ohio University Libraries’ rare books digital collection highlights the material culture of book production, focusing on local imprints and books created by women and African-Americans. So far, Digital Initiatives has photographed 85 “publishers’ bindings”– brightly-colored machine-made books designed to attract an emerging middle class audience beginning in the mid-19th century. In addition to the covers, we have until now mostly confined our digitization efforts to documenting evidence of marketing, manufacture, and ownership, such as bookplates, booksellers’ advertisements, binders’ tickets, inscriptions, and the like. The digital collection is not designed to function as a comprehensive full-text repository of public domain works, as this has already been accomplished on a massive scale by Google Books, HathiTrust, and the Internet Archive.
DI made an exception, however, for “The Eclipse,” for Hotel and Home Cooking, Suitable for Rich or Poor, because of the wealth of handwritten supplemental recipes and clippings added to our copy by an unidentified former owner. Unfortunately, the names of both creators have been lost to time. The “authoress” of “The Eclipse” identifies herself only as “Mrs. H. J. Hawhe.” She never published again under that name and no Hawhes appear on the 1880 census for Columbus, Ohio, where the book was published. Likewise, no record of an Eclipse Hotel or printer named Glenn could be located during a survey of 19th century Columbus city directories. As for the person who customized their copy of “The Eclipse” with so many additional recipes and household hints, we can be reasonably certain they worked as a professional cook because of the huge volume of ingredients required by some of the recipes. The below recipe for hand soap, for example, requires “four boxes Lewis lye, sixteen pounds clear grease or eighteen pounds cracklings, [and] twelve gallon[s] rain water.”
Our copy of “The Eclipse” is also distinct from those available through the Internet Archive and HathiTrust because it was never rebound and retains the orginal advertisements for local businesses inside the front cover, including one for “KATE SHEPARDSON BLACK, Homeopathic Physician, Women Diseases a Specialty.” Advertisements for Columbus stores and companies now long gone have also been included in the header and footer of every page, which would have defrayed the cost of printing.
Using our newly-acquired Phase One medium format camera, DI’s student imaging lead Kelly Wallace photographed “The Eclipse” from cover to cover, taking care to include all pieces of loose ephemera. The handwritten recipes have been fully transcribed and DI has committed to backing up our master files with the MetaArchive Collaborative, ensuring that access to this singular copy of a local history resource is preserved for the future.
