5ever books were invited by NAG (Marcus McShane) to do a 7-hour micro-residency during The  Performance Arcade 2021.  
 
The residency became a collaborative pop-up book factory: as long as the public circled in,  energy inevitably transformed matter towards a book object state. Contributions took many  forms: hand drawings, on-site typewritten notes, short stories, graphic art, poetry and other  works from a total of 40 contributors.  
 
This final book object holds all the contributions from that event. Includes: new poem ‘Tiny’ by Ockham award winning poet Helen Rickerby; visual contributions  from literary poet and punk Kerry Ann Lee; contributions from 5ever authors Alexa Wilson and  Nani Mahal; numerous contributions from local artists and writers, including but not limited to:  Nicole Gaston, Marika Pratley, Adam Ben-Dror, Cricket, Linda Lee, Tallulah Farrar, Anne-Lisa  Noordover, Kate Isabella, Ollie Hutton.
