St. EOM had visions of gender-fluid beings from a utopic future called Pasaquan. This culminated in St. EOM transforming his mother’s house and yard into a representation of Pasaquan. He painted mandalas, built large cement sculptures, and covered walls with murals. The place was wildly different from anything I’d seen, and yet it was on an anonymous country road so similar to the ones I’d grown up with. St. EOM and Pasaquan are fascinating in their own right, but I wondered about these future Pasaquoyans. What was their story? What if they were just as loving and flawed and human as the person having the vision? The result is my novel Everywhen. Although the characters and events diverge significantly from the reality of St. EOM and Pasaquan, the kernel of the story began there. I am deeply indebted to the artwork of Eddie Owens Martin, to the men he hired to help build Pasaquan, and to the people and organizations who have documented St. EOM’s life and preserved Pasaquan, including but not limited to Fred and Cathy Fussell, Tom Patterson, Michael McFalls, Charles Fowler, the Marion County Historical Society, the Pasaquan Preservation Society, the Kohler Foundation, Columbus State University, and the CSU Archive. https://www.kanielsen.net/contact daily 0.75 2025-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6936c2526b46ed57058e6a1f/f2cbf12e-a0a8-4002-923e-e626cb822467/DSC_0046.jpeg
