Sixty-Seven Ontological Studies

Shortlisted for the 2023 Nelson Ball Prize

Sixty-Seven Ontological Studies is a double-stranded book of intense lyric reflections on the fundamental essences of things. The two modes of attention -- Jan Zwicky's words and Robert V. Moody's photographs -- are presented as fully co-equal. Neither one serves as an illustration of the other, yet there are many deep connections between the two. They are brought together here in a resonant conversation, steeped in the pregnant silence of the living world.
