Poetry. Asian American Studies. Eileen R. Tabios' book revolves around the secret lives of those small gestures: punctuations. This volume reveals the resonant--and quirky--lives of the semi-colon, colon, ellipsis, parenthesis, strike-throughs, question mark, and the blank line. Also included are a decolonialism scholar's perspective on punctuations by Leny M. Strobel, as well as a visual art relationship with punctuations through the paintings of Eve Aschheim. Finally, the book offers postcard-art and a performance project entitled "The Secret Lives of Blank Lines" by the author who is also a conceptual/performance/visual artist. xPress(ed) is a publisher based in Finland.
