The Zymoglyphic Museum, located in Portland, Oregon, is the world's only institution devoted to the study and display of art, artifacts, and culture of the Zymoglyphic region. Its publishing arm, the Zymoglyphic Museum Press, was founded in 2009, tasked with documenting the museum as a printed book, as well as providing a literary dimension to a primarily visual art project, a metaphorical third leg to its physical and cyberspace incarnations.

This anthology is a successor to the first volume. It includes essays by the museum's curator as well as contributions from members of its surrounding community.
