Book excerpt: A POWERFUL CHAPBOOK collection of thirteen poems, whose broken, surreal landscapes yield haunted visions reminiscent of Stephen Crane's epic masterpieces The Dark Riders and War Is Kind. "The tragic vision of Jonathan Weinert's Thirteen Small Apostrophes reaches far through its singular imagination and haunting diction . . . His use of apostrophe in addressing imaginary creatures becomes a kind of Genesis, summoning a chastened world from one that we've defiled. These are innovative, moving, and memorable poems." Mark Irwin, author of Large White House Speaking "In this mysterious and musical collection of petititons and declarations to various entities, human and otherwise, Jonathan Weinert listens attentively as darkness sings its song . . . Any reader alert to exquisite lament will find herself addressed by Weinert's song, sung to and sung for by these thirteen apostrophes that are small only in their length, not in their embrace." H. L. Hix, author of First Fire, Then Birds

Book Synopsis Fucking Apostrophes by : Simon Griffin

Download or read book Fucking Apostrophes written by Simon Griffin. This book was released on 2016-11-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'At last, a book that tells you exactly where to stick your apostrophe ... funny and useful, the perfect stocking filler.' David Marsh, Guardian Apostrophes are a pain. The rules about how to use them are complicated, and have evolved haphazardly. Originally written as advice by a copywriter for designers - wont to insert and remove apostrophes at will, for visual effect - this is a light-hearted pocket-sized guide to getting the things right. Simon Griffin lets off steam so that we don't have to, showing precisely why 'Rhianna and Jennifer's photos were all over the internet' is quite different to 'Rhianna's and Jennifer's photos' or what words apostrophes are replacing in sentences such as 'He'd like you to buy him some cocaine', or 'They've got it all on camera.' Elegantly produced, this is the perfect gift for any pedant, as well as an indispensable guide in all our moments of grammar-related frustration.
