Extreme nerd request! #HistSky #HistorySky #BookSky I'm looking for non-fiction (or contemporaneous fiction) on bureaucratic changes that followed the end of the Austto-Hungarian empire. Like, how did newly independent countries set up state functions in new languages w/in newly defined borders?

Help me fund epic poem GULA: A Poem For The End Times on BackerKit! A modernist/post-modernist long-form poem, GULA explores Carrion City, a place where the lost and forsaken end up and rarely leave -- a mirror city to the world of the beloved and treasured.

www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...
A black and white cityscape with difficult to read cursive text in the black sky behind it (for the curious, it's gestalt-usury-limerence-augury), and GULA in capitals above. The city is reflected below in distorted RGB, and there are silhouettes of people falling from one city to the other. Below, in the RGB, is ELLIOTT DUNSTAN.
