Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Jason Dodge with Ishion Hutchinson: The Broad Church of Night, 25 September–21 December, 2018 at the University of Chicago, Neubauer Collegium for Culture.

The title of this exhibition was suggested to the artist by the Jamaican poet Ishion Hutchinson, who composed and recited a poem of the same name for the exhibition’s ceremonial dismantling on December 1. An audio recording of the reading replaced the sculptural installation for the final three weeks of the show.

Edition of 200. hand bound with 4 inserts. Each copy is unique.
