A CAGE FULL OF OXYGEN

I am so thankful to Portable Gray for publishing part of my seemingly unpublishable 386-inch-long double-sided accordion book *as an accordion pull-out!* with an inventive design to incorporate my accompanying essay in their issue devoted to Earth—it just hit the online forum, though I still don’t have a material copy (but as I’ve learned through this project the immaterial is quite material)—here are several glimpses of “A Cage Full of Oxygen,” a continuation of my foray into the copper mining across the street & globe.
