I just finished reading your “Chapters that don’t belong.” Such an in-depth study of words, of the effect a single syllable makes upon the word and therefore, the thought. I am curious: what inspired you to use punctuation as you did? The quotation marks and periods have their own impact, and I cannot help but wonder what your piece would be if you used other dots and lines, or none altogether. What say you?
I say yes… in fact, those writings may also have been from the time of Words & Gestures https://manoftheword.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/words-gestures2.pdf
is this kinda what you’re thinking of?
and geez, again – thanks for taking that sort of time!
