How could we not feature Dorothy Iannone's 'You Who Read Me With Passion Now Must Forever Be My Friends' for Women's History Month?

Featured spreads are from Siglio Press's classic 320-page compendium of Dorothy Iannone works on paper, You Who Read Me With Passion Now Must Forever Be My Friends—an essential volume on this long-overlooked but deeply influential and liberating artist. Publisher Lisa Pearson has described the book as "a subversive kind of bildungsroman" sequenced according to two editorial criteria. "First, to trace the narrative arc of Iannone's pursuit for ecstatic unity across the universe of her work (and life), and secondly, to offer an opportunity for the reader—who is so often lovingly invoked—to delve into her inimitable, hybrid form of image and text and read an ever-shifting field of autobiography, anecdote, allegory, song, dreamscape and fiction."
