Co-written by Scottish-born poet Alastair Reid and Lithuanian-born social artist Ben Shahn (originally written in 1958).
Ben Shahn responds with humorous and poetic drawings to Alastair Reid's wordplay, which explores the hidden charm and potential of words by separating them from their meaning and treating them as mere images and sounds. This is a unique book that focuses on "seeing" and "speaking" the words rather than "reading" them. The arrangement of pictures and text on each page is also beautiful.
