Store description
Heavenacid is a bookselling enterprise primarily dedicated to radical ruptures in thought, insurgency, urgency, outsider experience, the undercommons, the avant-garde, histories neglected in the bibliographical record, genuine firsts, and their intersections with the technology of the book and print. Or whatever else we think is good and we come across and know a thing or two about. The phrase “Heavenacid” is Pierre Joris’ translation of Paul Celan’s neologism Himmelssäure.
