Description
Tai Shani's The Neon Hieroglyph is a series of painterly and poetic considerations on a feminized history of the rye fungus Ergot. This book weaves together diverse reflections, from the cellular to the galactic, exploring the intersection of art, nature, and psychedelics. Through lyrical essays, Tai Shani constructs a house of thought where gothic and hallucinatory themes converge. The result is a place for our ghosts to inhabit, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. This book continues the author's journey into post-patriarchal fictions, first explored in her collection Our Fatal Magic. Framed with new essays by Caspar Heinemann and Amy Hale, The Neon Hieroglyph offers a unique perspective on the world, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
