Co-authored by Scottish-born poet Alastair Reid and Lithuanian-born socialist artist Ben Shahn (original 1958).
Ben Shahn responds to Alastair Reid's wordplay, which attempts to explore the hidden charm and potential of words by separating them from their meaning and reconsidering them as mere shapes and sounds, with humorous and poetic drawings. A unique book that focuses on ``seeing'' and ``speaking out'' rather than ``reading'' text. The arrangement of the pictures and text on each page is also beautiful.
