“Lionel Ziprin was a prolific writer, a mystical poet who produced thousands of poems. You wouldn’t tell it from his published output. A small wooden box with ephemera was released in 1990, and his book, Songs for Schizoid Siblings, was published in 2017. There were also a few contributions to magazines. That’s it.”

I am not an artist. I am not an
outsider. I am a citizen of the
republic and I have remained
anonymous all the time by choice.
