This collection of texts builds relationships between readers, creators, and communities, suggesting that books can present complex connections that go far beyond the reader–writer binary. Through word and image, texture and tone, they beg to be enacted and enliven ways of worship, recreation, and expression. Whether blending liturgical text and musical notation, inviting introspection on the art of painting, or cultivating a connection with readers by transforming them into voyeurs, these objects are enlivened by their relationships to singers, actors, and artists. Whether instructional, devotional, or documentary, they transcend their primary functions as books, operating as tools that enrich the pursuit of creative expression.
