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. Two examples are the following sent by readers, the top one being sent in 2013 -- which is to say, it's a delight to have the book being read many years after its release! (:

*****

"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.
