READER BLURBS

Many poetry books feature "blurbs" on their back covers. The back cover of The Secret Lives of Punctuations, Vol. I seeks to subvert this problematic structure by presenting blank lines, along which readers can inscribe their own blurbs. An example is the following sent by a reader:

"The Secret Lives of Punctuations, Vol. I" dramatically unmoors the paratextual markers that structure the English language, pushing the reader into a labyrinthine lyrical landscape of infinite reading possibilities.
