Spillville: A Collaboration by Patricia Hampl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I do like it because the typography is well set and I can read it (out loud) and there are clear *doses* of language in it. It is above everything, measured out and put into halves like hard fruit. Tho there is nothing about eating in it or doing away with the rinds or setting your sights on the neatness of an aerial view of the nun changing, of the letters or decisivenesses. We will lord it over the land in Iowa. We will hone and trim and speak with the lips of a human underneath us. The lips of a human reading the words for us. The buggy. The bird-dogging.
