It's Magic Monday Every Day of the Week by Vanessa Sinclair and Carl Abrahamsson, as published by their Trapart Books imprint (Vimmerby, Sweden), 2021.  This is a collection of online entries from their "Magic Monday" project.

From the back cover, this book "sums up the first year of these writings, photos, poems, collages, and cut-ups.... Sinclair & Abrahamsson touch upon ritual, runes, psychedelics, sex, tarot, individuation, ancestor worship, talismania, the third mind method of Brion Gysin & William S. Burroughs, creating sigils, shamanism, the Mega Golem, necromancy & glitchcraft, dealing with death & loss, making charged art, time travel, biospheric morals, and much more..."

This contains multiple references to William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin, particularly in the sections “Third Mind with Brion Gysin…”, pp. 64-71, and in “Inventing Ourselves: A Daily Practice of Cut-Ups”, pp. 124-138, which discuss the Cut-Up method.

Throughout the book are Burroughs/Gysin-inspired cut-ups in word and art.

References to William S. Burroughs may be found at pages 23, 59-60, 64-66, 67, 68, 69, 126, 130-131, 147, 194, 247.
