About the Author

Reviews

"Like many of the numbers that precede it, this cahier's size belies its substance, resonance, and weight. This book has resonance, a power generated and magnified by every layer of its substance. It deserves a very wide readership and it is worth owning as a work of art in itself."--Bethany Pope "Coffin Factory"
