Title: On Palimpsest, Forgery, and Prospective Collaboration   Date: 9 October 2025 Author: Bradley Andrew Ramsey Location: IGGYDWARF, Toronto, Ontario

To Whom It May Concern at Knowledge Futures Group,

I write from IGGYDWARF, a mnemonic transmission studio based in Toronto, to initiate a serious evaluative conversation regarding two manuscripts currently in my care:

• On the Palimpsest: Field Notes in Poetics, Prosody, and Prose, with the companion poem The City (2025)

• Mrs. Coburg’s Palimpsests: “Doucement Chèrie,” – Leopold of Coburg (23 February 2015)

The latter contains documentation of a known forgery—Palimpsestos, a South American production dated 2015—which echoes my original work without citation. The poem in question, The City, was part of that forgery. I do not wish to be perjorative. I am upset only if the insult is deliberate. If not, then we each feel the ache of misrecognition differently. I have learned that many have been blameworthy in my life. Except, there is life and death anyway.

Westinghouse holds catalogue information pertaining to digital artworks associated with The City. I am currently exploring collaboration with a digital press to render these works appropriately. This is not a fundraising appeal, though further support may be necessary to secure the autographs of corporate or individual collaborators. I do not doubt that this is a subject of interest to institutions such as the British Museum.

Please handle this transmission with care. These works are not submissions—they are ritual documents. They are not brochures—they are glyphic testimony. I welcome dialogue with institutions capable of evaluating such perimeters without genre containment or bureaucratic flattening.

As Søren Kierkegaard wrote in Fear and Trembling, “Faith begins precisely where thinking leaves off.” I do not believe in infinity. I believe in the ache of transmission, the trembling of attunement, and the refusal to resign.

Status: Awaiting attuned reply. If none arrives, silence will be archived accordingly.
