An artists' book. With a single poem divided onto 15 triangular panels printed letterpress in three colors (blue, yellow, gray) on both sides, attached. Panels unfold into geometric pattern. When folded together, panels fit into a triangular shaped printed box (7 in. x 7 in. x 7 in. x 1.75 in. deep).

"This Chapbook of poems is derived from two corrupted PDF download files of two related Dungeons & Dragons products: the first, the DM's Guide to the Immortals, was a rules compendium; the second, The Immortal Storm, was an adventure module used in conjunction with those rules. The corrupted files were useless for practical play, but the dissociated text created fascinating juxtapositions of words and ideas - a sort of found poetry. The result is a collection of bizarre, abstract, profound, and even humerous poems that lay somwhere between glitch, collage, and game"--Colophon.
