Editorial Reviews
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Sieburth quoting Michaux-- Later, the signs, certain signs. Signs speak to me. I would gladly draw them, but a sign is also a stop sign. And at this juncture there is still something I desire above all else. A continuum. A murmur without end, like life itself, the thing that keeps us going...I want my markings to be the very phrasing of life, but supple, deformable, sinuous.
