Customer Reviews

Not an easy book but worth the read

A challenging read that needs to be engaged in every way possible: read aloud, introspectively absorbed, and examined on the page. The joy in this collection come from the manner in which Torres' line breaks, leaps in logic, and typography unexpectedly bounces from the outer edges of LanguagePo and ends up in the diction of Classic Narrative.
