Item description from seller

Collection of 40 coil-bound 8.5x11 pages, each with texts and images that the author describes as "graphemes." In the author's description: "This work could be described as both a 'pataphysical bookwork and Wittgenstein's legacy. I attack the physical conventions of standard book form. The text/images (graphemes) were created by cutting up a dictionary then drawing images and text from a paper bag. titles came later (please refer to Duchamp's readymades)." Fine copy, edition of 100. From the collection of Canadian poet and founding editor of Underwhich Editions, Paul Dutton.
