Paperback. The evening beyond each chain-lit match seemed to crouch in the shapes of houses, then rose to play havoc in a veil of dogwoods. Based on a logic that considers the atomic symbol an improvised phoneme, this book is keenly attuned to the qualities of voice and concerned with how these improvisations fall on the listening ear.
